A magistrate on Friday jailed Mehajer for 21 months, ordering he be released after 11 months and then placed on a $500 three-year good behaviour bond.
The former Auburn deputy mayor has spent the last few months in and out of jail, after winning and losing bail applications or breaching bail conditions on other charges.
His latest stint behind bars comes after being found guilty of 77 charges related to a joint criminal enterprise with his sister aimed at influencing the 2012 Auburn City Council vote.
Fatima Mehajer received a two-month suspended sentence because she acted under her brother's direction and had been under family pressure to be part of "Team Salim".
Mehajer's father Mohamad, the court heard, blamed himself for his son's problems saying he had spoilt him and treated him as the "golden child".
