This reflection article analyzes the administrative sanctioning procedure in the Colombian electoral system to assess its scope, limitations, and significance in democracy. It seeks to understand the sanctioning regime of the National Electoral Council (CNE) and its alignment with the principles of administrative sanctioning law. The conceptual, legal, and theoretical framework of the regime is described, as well as the functions of the CNE aimed at ensuring due process and the fundamental rights of political actors. Using a qualitative approach, the study examines Colombian electoral regulations, the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court and the Council of State, and specialized doctrine. The study concludes that the effectiveness of the sanctioning regime is limited due to procedural gaps and a prioritization of formal control, and therefore proposes improvements to strengthen democratic integrity.
