The periodical may not use the vacant space for preelection campaigning purposes.


85.2. According to this Article, no edits or comments should be made in the publication of pre-election campaigning materials, unless the matter is agreed with the candidates, political party, bloc of political parties, or referendum campaign groups.


85.3. Periodicals that are founded by municipalities or legislative, executive, or judiciary bodies, and officially publish their founders’ official materials, information, and normative or other acts, may not publish pre-election campaign and other materials.


85.4. Rules on equal allocation of space and Articles 78.1 and 78.3 of this Code shall not be applied to periodicals that have been founded by registered candidates, political parties, blocs of political parties or political parties which are members of a bloc of political parties.


85.5. Pre-election campaign materials of a candidate, registered candidate, political party, bloc of political parties, or referendum campaign group published by a periodical should contain information on which registered candidate, political party, bloc of political parties, or referendum campaign group’s election funds the publication expenses are paid from. When pre-election campaign materials are published free of charge, materials should reflect to which candidate, political party, bloc of political parties, or referendum campaign group the publication belongs.
