Abuses of administrative resources in electoral processes that originate in or that could be seen as typical general crimes should preferably be left to the general criminal code and not be regulated in special electoral acts. Different kinds of unauthorised actions before elections (improper reward for voting, etc.) should be seen as severe general crimes in the same way as bribery and corruption, severe misconduct or malpractice by public officials and economic crime, such as embezzlement of administrative resources and breach of trust. Political parties, candidates, media and public officials that incur misuse of administrative resources should be subject to sanction. Ensuring the implementation of standards in the various levels of government within the federal systems shall also be an important aspect to be contemplated by legislation.
