Paragraph 76
 

Article 27.5 envisages the possibility of revoking candidate or candidate list registration for excessive campaign spending. The formula contained in this Article seems unduly complex and it does not appear that revocation of registration would be a proportionate sanction in this instance. It is recommended that this provision be reconsidered and deregistration be applied only as an exceptional sanction, after other sanctions have been found to be ineffective.
