Abstract :
Nowadays the cyberspace acts as a double-edged sword in all social realities and, therefore, it can be regarded either as an opportunity or as a threat. If the government does not follow a clear plan, it can easily distort its healthy and competitive environment in some special events such as elections. In this research we aim to take a documented and substantiated look at the issue with the purpose of helping in preventions of election crimes and damages. With a descriptive and analytical approach and through the documentary methodology by using library and internet data, in this article we seek to find an answer to the question of what is the role of cyberspace in the indirect management of elections and that how the election crimes and violations caused by the same could be countered with. According to the authors, the role of cyberspace in the hidden management with destructive approaches of election violations and crimes is undeniable and that the solutions such as: defining the cultural code of professional ethics of election campaigns in cyberspace, considering the time of the election as an aggravating factor of electoral crimes in cyberspace and, finally, the comprehensive election law and its consolidation for more accurate monitoring etc. are among the solutions to reduce such threats.
