In practice, the OSCE/ODIHR Final Report following the parliamentary elections of 7 November 2010 underlines inter alia that “misuse of administrative resources as well as interference by local authorities in favour of candidates from the ruling party created an uneven playing field for candidates.” The Report details that “[t]he misuse of administrative resources was reported from 20 constituencies where employees of state institutions were involved in campaigning for a particular candidate during working hours.” The OSCE/ODIHR Report recommends that “[t]he continuous problems regarding undue interference of local executive authorities in the election process, in particular regarding […] the misuse of administrative resources in favour or certain candidates, should be resolutely addressed as it is the responsibility of the State to enable contestants to compete on a basis of equal treatment…” . The Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Report following the same elections also underlines “allegations of abuse of administrative resources”. Following the 9 October 2013 presidential election, the International Election Observation Mission stated that “YAP’s campaign on behalf of the incumbent President appeared well-organized and resourced, including rallies and concerts. While the incumbent President did not directly campaign, he toured the country in his official capacity and frequently appeared at public events. The campaigns of the other candidates were more modest, involving small-scale meetings, door-to-door canvassing, and social media on the internet, with few large-scale rallies. Some of the candidates did not hold any rallies or produce posters.”
