Some Electoral Code’s provisions on campaigning may interfere with the freedom of expression. Article 183 (4) prohibits “to use any campaign materials (…) which are contrary to good morals and damaging to the honour and reputation of the candidates” as well as new provisions prohibiting “to use the coat of arms or the flag of the Republic of Bulgaria or of any foreign State, as well as any religious signs or designs, in any campaign materials”. In addition,  the new Article 182 (5) bans ministers of religion from campaigning. Violations are fined between BGN 2,000 and 5,000 (between EUR 1,020 and 2,550) accorded to the amended Article 480 (2), which are issued by the president of the National Audit Office.
