<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the regulatory problems of electoral criminal offenses related to the abuse of official influence in regional elections and to formulate an ideal legal framework to achieve legal certainty. The research employed a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Legal materials consisted of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources analyzed through normative-qualitative techniques, including legal interpretation, norm inventory, and regulatory synchronization analysis. The results indicate that regulations concerning the abuse of official influence remain fragmented across several legal instruments, causing overlapping norms, vague criminal elements, and unclear boundaries between administrative, ethical, and criminal violations. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative analysis of regulatory inconsistency and its formulation of a more operational legal construction through clearer legal subjects, measurable prohibited acts, evidentiary standards, and harmonized enforcement mechanisms. The study concludes that legal certainty in regional elections can only be achieved through integrated regulation and consistent law enforcement.Keywords: Electoral Crime; Abuse of Official Authority; Legal Certainty]]>
