This is a bibliographical research, carried out through research on the subject, surveys of data and elections in recent years. The main objective is to understand the extent of this problem, its methods and implications for the democratic process, assess the impact of this phenomenon on elections as a whole, understand how it is perpetrated and identify ways to curb it. Furthermore, the research aims to analyze how electoral laws, such as the Electoral Code, Law nº 4,737 of July 15, 1965 and the Elections Law nº 9,504 of September 30, 1997 can be applied to prevent and punish electoral harassment. These measures aim to combine the protection of workers, as they are the most vulnerable, who often become victims, having their fundamental rights violated.
