Article II amends the Criminal Code by expanding and tightening criminal liability for electoral corruption (Article 181¹). The offence is reformulated to include not only the offering or giving of undue benefits but also the promise of such benefits. The amendments increase penalties, including longer terms of imprisonment, higher fines, and extended bans on holding public office or exercising certain activities. They also introduce a graduated system of aggravating circumstances, covering acts committed by multiple persons, against multiple voters, through the use of public funds, or in the interests of organised criminal groups or criminal organisations. Particular emphasis is placed on conduct involving financing or influence originating from foreign States, foreign organisations, or anti-constitutional entities, reflecting concerns about external interference in electoral processes. In parallel, criminal liability is extended to legal entities, with sanctions ranging from significant fines to the loss of the right to carry out certain activities or liquidation.
