- Abstract
Identifying and eliminating situations spurred by a conflict of public and private interests are one of crucial ways to prevent corruption. The legal institution of the interest conflict has a long history and has demonstrated its efficiency during many years of academic activity and the practice. At the same time, its development does not stop, since there are still spheres of public and corporate governance that have not fully internalized universal standards for preventing and managing conflicts of interest. Therefore, the unification of special duties, prohibitions, and restrictions imposed on various types of officials due to the possibility of interest conflict is a worth fulfilling task. The study subject was issues of legal regulation of the prevention and management of interest conflicts in the area of electoral process. As an outcome, a contradiction between provisions of anti-corruption, service, and electoral legislation in terms of restricting activities of member of the election commission with the right to vote in a situation of consanguinity or affinity, as well as official subordination to a candidate, was discovered. A set of amendments aimed at unifying relevant restrictions and, as a result, improving the efficiency of preventing corruption in the electoral process is elaborated as well
