G. Media and information support of elections

Article 63.1 of the parliamentary electoral law states, as a general principle, that voters shall be given the possibility to access diverse, objective and unbiased information that is necessary to make a deliberate, informed and free choice. The law requires that when distributing information on the election, all election commissions, mass media, governmental institutions and bodies and civic associations do so in an unbiased, unprejudiced, balanced, reliable, complete and accurate manner. Article 13.4 of the parliamentary electoral law also states, as a general principle, that all reporting on the elections by mass media, both private and public, must be done in an unbiased manner. It also states a general guarantee of unrestricted access for the mass media to all public events relating to the elections, meetings of election commissions and premises of election precincts on election day.
