In Spain, the Law on the Regime of General Elections includes different provisions regarding misuse of administrative resources. Article 52 prohibits officials from campaigning; Article 139 sanctions infractions committed by civil servants during electoral campaigns; and Article 140 sanctions civil servants misusing their positions for campaigning purposes. In practice, the misuse of administrative resources was not brought to the attention of the OSCE/ODHIR Election Observation Mission in its report following the early parliamentary elections of 20 November 2011.
