Article 73 par. 5 f) continues to expressly prohibit foreign citizens from engaging in election campaigning. The previous Joint Opinion cautioned that “foreign nationals and stateless individuals have rights to free expression and association, which could include manifesting an opinion ‘for or against an election subject’ (election campaigning).”[23] It is for these reasons that Article 73.5 would appear to be in conflict with Articles 1, 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights. These are important concerns that were not addressed by an amendment. It is thus recommended that Article 73, par. 5 f) be amended to address this concern.
