An additional concern is the CEC’s authority under Article 92 of the Draft law to vet the content of campaign materials that are to be disseminated to voters. The article provides that “…the [referendum entities] may produce informative posters with the substantiation (at most 2500 printed characters) of their stand concerning… the referendum issue…The CEC shall approve the informative poster text in consultation with the authorized person of the entity.” These approved campaign materials are to constitute the balanced materials for informing the voters, to be distributed by the entities to the polling stations for display. However, it is unclear in the Draft law on what grounds the CEC can refuse to approve a campaign poster (for instance Article 99(1) includes a range of substantive issues that cannot be included in campaign materials). Any grounds other than technical grounds (such as number of characters and size) would be problematic as substantive vetting of campaign materials is not in line with freedom of expression. In past election observation reports, ODIHR has recommended to repeal similar provisions in election legislation on the vetting of campaign materials by the CEC. This recommendation is reiterated.
