In its final report on the 1 October 2012 parliamentary elections, the OSCE/ODIHR underlines the possibility given by the law to misuse “some administrative resources for campaign purposes, in particular state-funded buildings, provided that equal access is given to all election subjects.” Nevertheless, the report relays the concerns expressed in the joint opinion as “[i]n practice, such equality may be undermined as political parties in government have easier access.” The Parliamentary Assembly report underlines that “[t]he campaign centred mostly on issues of abuse of administrative resources and the advantages of incumbency by the ruling party and on the abuse of private financial resources by opposition leaders” and noted that “[t]he abuse of administrative resources continued to be an issue during these elections, including allegations of pressure on civil servants and opposition activists. International observers noted that the distinction between State and the ruling party was often blurred. Local civil society organisations played an important watchdog function in this respect. In a number of cases, the IATF [Inter Agency Taskforce for Free and Fair Elections] made recommendations to address both proven cases and allegations of misuse of administrative resources.”
