Morphology
The meaning is compositionally derived from 'election' (the voting process) + 'fraud' (a deceptive or dishonest act); putting them together naturally yields deceptive or illegal interference in an election. This noun-noun construction is regular in English and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase election fraud gives a clear image: an election, the voting, where someone uses fraud, meaning cheating, for example by adding extra ballots or changing vote counts to make the wrong person win. That's why it means 'illegal interference with the process or results of an election'.
