This research aims to address a technological aspect, namely artificial intelligence, which represents a troubling and astonishing shift in the world of elections and their means. We may be among the countries lagging behind in this field, but despite our modest capabilities, there has been a significant and clear impact through the use of this field called artificial intelligence, which has been harnessed to manipulate numbers, votes, and propaganda. This is what is evident in the folds of our research.
