III. Comments on the Text on the Draft Electoral Law 

G. Media and information support of elections

Article 72.1 of the draft electoral law requires that electronic mass media must set and publish their rates for political advertising 90 days before election day. Under Article 71.8, no changes to these rates are allowed for the duration of the campaign. Nor can media outlets offer or grant discounts to candidates and parties. A mass media organisation that provides space for campaigning to one candidate or party cannot refuse to offer space to any other candidates and parties on the same terms.
