Paragraph 57
 

Campaign conditions are determined by Article 731, which provides special rules for “qualified subjects”. According to these provisions, it is up to the broadcasters to determine whether an electoral contestant is qualified for free airtime or not. It is advisable to establish legal criteria, rather than leave the decision to the broadcasters, as it might result in undue refusals and inconsistencies in implementation. It is recommended that Article 73, prima 1, be thoroughly reviewed to address these concerns.
