The draft article does not give a definition of abuse of administrative resources. This concept is developed in the new Article 21¹ of the Election Law introduced by the August 2019 amendments. Article 21¹.1 of the Election Law defines abuse of administrative resources as:

“unlawful use of human, financial, material, media, institutional resources by candidates, officials, heads of state and municipal organizations, members and founders of media and online editions during elections, obtained as a result of their control over civil state and municipal employees or employees of state, municipal enterprises, institutions, enterprises with the share of state (municipal) participation over 30 per cent, over finances and their distribution, which may be transformed into political and other forms of support of particular candidates, political parties, undermining the equality of candidates.”
