Abstract
The main objective of this article is to characterize the political-electoral violence in the department of Santander after the Peace Agreement in Colombia. The violence is analyzed from two analytical dimensions in the framework of the 2018 and 2019 electoral processes: violence against politicians and/or candidatures, leaderships and journalists and records of electoral crimes, from data obtained from databases of governmental and non-governmental organizations. As a finding, it was concluded that political-electoral violence in the department increased in the 2019 elections, that threats are the most recurrent victimizing event and that the main victims are social leaders, and that voter corruption is the most reported electoral crime in areas of influence of armed groups.
