(1) In deciding whether issuing a fine is called for, and in determining the fine amount, the election commission shall consider all circumstances of the case – especially the number of people affected by the legal violation and the gravity, geographical extent and the recurrence of the violation. The fine amount shall also depend on whether the violation was evidently intentional.
(2) In case of natural persons, the maximum fine amount shall be five times the monthly minimum wage; in other cases, the maximum fine amount shall be fifteen times the monthly minimum wage.
(3) Any fines that are not paid within fifteen days of the resolution issuing the fine becoming final shall be designated public debt enforced as taxes, to be collected by the state tax authority when contacted by the National Election Office.
