This research seeks to clearly show the relationship and level of priority regarding the functions assigned to the Attorney against the importance of the right to vote and its democratic effectiveness in a social state of law that urgently needs to regulate the actions of the Public Prosecutor’s Office According to the constitutional and conventional rights and guarantees of an elected official by popular vote. However, through a qualitative basic methodology, we hope to be able to clearly identify the stages and ways of developing by the Office of the Attorney General the special disciplinary process aimed at sanctioning possible disciplinary facts, and to be able to see if the proper application of norms, treaties and concepts of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights with respect to the matter. All of the above in order to establish that the positive regulation of the special sanctioning procedure that is applied by the Attorney against elected officials by suffrage is required, as well as to implement political guarantees for both the investigated and the voters, and finally, the procedure through the accompaniment of the judicial branch.
