Article 50
 

Collective verbal electioneering is forbidden on public roads, in temples, in public buildings and facilities, and in arenas and squares other than those specified by District Electoral Boards during the period of election.


District Electoral Boards determine the squares where collective verbal electioneering can be made, selecting those places with electricity installation, from those where it is possible to hold meetings without disturbing the traffic and market places.
___________________
(1) The heading of this Article was amended as above by Article 1st of Law 4609 on 29 November 2000 and applied to the text accordingly.
In case political parties apply for collective verbal electioneering, the District Electoral Board determines the square, date, order and time of the meetings by drawing names and notify it to the relevant authorities. A day of the week is reserved for independent candidates under the same conditions.
(Amended last paragraph: 2nd Article of Law 5989, amended on 8 April 2010) Collective verbal electioneering in outdoor places is forbidden after the end of the second hour after sunset until sunrise.
