Paragraph 80
 

Article 8.5 obliges all parties and candidates to submit declarations of their property and income to the relevant election commission and that these declarations be published automatically in the case of parties. The code is ambiguous since it does not establish whether these rules are applicable to all elections or only to national elections. Part 3 of the same Article 8.5 gives the Central Electoral Commission discretion to decide the period for which the declaration of income is to be submitted. In the interests of legal certainty, this period could be established by the law. The declarations about candidates are made available to the media under Article 8.6. It is unclear which “other candidates” are covered by this provision.
