Article 51
 

Propaganda in closed areas:


 Political parties and independent candidates may arrange meetings in closed areas.


Those who want to make closed meetings, compose a delegation of three people and notify the closest municipality superior or officer. In villages, notification to mukhtars or their deputies will be considered enough. 


The liabilities of such delegations are to provide the order of the meetings and to provide words and actions that are either illegal or improper considering customs and traditions.


             Delegation tries to prevent situations mentioned above and calls municipal police if considered necessary.


             Delegation decides and limits the ones who will take the floor in the meetings. 


             Speeches in these meetings can be published with loudspeakers reserving the provisions of Article 56. 


Municipal police officers and superiors, mukhtars and members of local councils may not intervene the meetings in any conditions other than the request of delegation or decision of District Election Boards.  


Closed area meetings are not permitted in sanctuaries, schools, military facilities and buildings and other places of public services.
