Traditionally, an electoral process is a highly competitive period, sometimes far from political platforms that should be proposed to the citizens. Electoral processes are often characterised by harsh rhetoric between competitors; by pressure on voters and on candidates; by defamation; by vote buying and sometimes by illegal campaigning means. The latter practice is persistent throughout electoral processes in many elections. Indeed misuse of administrative resources during the whole electoral process does impact public institutions (ministries, territorial and local bodies and other state-funded bodies) and human resources within the public sector.
