Paragraph 49
 

The amendment provides for the previously recommended reduction of the threshold necessary for releasing presidential candidates from the obligatory payment of the costs of free airtime and space from 5 per cent of the number of voters to 3 per cent of the valid votes. This is in line with the analogous threshold provided for the candidates in elections to Milli Majlis and Municipal Councils (see paragraph 45 above).

 

45.       In Article 203.1 to replace the figure “14” with the figure “10” in Article 203.1, to add the words “pursuant to Article 102 of the Constitution” after the word “approval”.
