Article 16
 

(1) At least 45 days before the voting day at elections or at least 25 days before the voting day at referendum, the elections campaign organizer shall open a special transaction account designated “for the elections campaign” or “for the referendum campaign” and state the elections or referendum for which the campaign is organized.  When the referendum date is determined more than 45 days after the adoption of the decision by the National Assembly or the representative body of a local community, the organizers of referendum may open a transaction account and collect the funds from the date when the national Assembly or representative body of a local community fixed the voting date at referendum.   On such transaction account the elections campaign organizer must collect all the financial funds, either his own funds earmarked for the elections campaign or the funds obtained for that purpose by other legal or natural entities. All the elections campaign expenses shall be paid by the elections campaign organizer only from that transaction account. The elections campaign organizer shall be obliged to close this account within four months from the voting day at the latest. The maturity date for the loan as referred to in point 3 and the time term for deferred payment as referred to in point 4 of the first paragraph of Article 18 hereof shall not be set later than 30 days prior to the time term set for the closing of the account.


 (2) Irrespective of the provision of the preceding paragraph of this Article, the organiser of the elections campaign shall open a special transaction account with designation for the elections or referendum campaign prior to performing the first financial operation intended for the elections campaign.
