Improving the system of social prevention measures preventing corruption in the electoral process

The Security of society is a priority area of state policy, and the problems and threats posed by corruption are among the main tasks of every democratic state. At the UN Convention on corruption, it was emphasized that it is not a local problem, but rather has acquired a transnational significance that affects the country's society and economy. The national security Strategy of our country mentions corruption along with such dangerous crimes as terrorism, extremism, radical public associations, and criminal groups. And the consideration of the corruption phenomenon in conjunction with threats to national security is justified by the negative consequences generated by corruption phenomena. A significant negative consequence of corruption is the destructive impact of this criminal act on the process of statehood formation. The presence of a real threat of corruption affecting the results of elections, the implementation of democratic procedures, hiding the legitimacy of political struggle and the legality of the will of citizens, can lead to the seizure of power in the state. The penetration of corruption into the electoral process poses a threat to the security of the state, its internal and external sovereignty, and therefore conducting research in this area will allow us to create a stable preventive base for protecting electoral relations from criminal corruption attacks. The purpose of the study is to study the main determinants of corruption crime in the electoral process and make a set of proposals for the development of preventive measures.
