The website Modern.az discusses the possibility of punishment for fraud during the election. If the results of voting in specific constituencies are canceled, then these cases should be sent to the prosecutor.

Three years of imprisonment are allowed for falsification during voting, and 7 years of imprisonment for abuse of authority.
