Article 65
 

1. Proprietors of entertainment venues and other facilities usually used by the public that meet the requirements to be used for electoral campaign purposes should inform the president of the city hall, up to ten days before the opening of the electoral campaign, indicating the dates and times at which the venues or halls can be used for this purpose. If no declaration is made or if venues are evidently required, the president of the city hall can order the venues and the halls that he considers necessary for the electoral campaign, without prejudice to the normal and programmed activity of these venues.


2. Time set aside for election propaganda, under the terms of the previous number, will be shared equally among the political parties and coalitions that indicate a wish to use the facilities, and have put forward candidates in the constituency where the venue is located. 3. Up to three days before the opening of the electoral campaign, the president of the city hall, after hearing the representatives of the lists, will indicate the days and times attributed to each party and coalition, in order to ensure that all are treated equally.
