Furthermore, the draft law does not comprehensively regulate sanctioning for campaign-related violations, leaving a number of potential violations unaddressed, save for penalizing the placement of campaign materials in the vicinity of polling stations and violations of rules on opinion polls. Importantly, safeguards against the misuse of administrative resources in Articles 7 and 73 of the draft law related to prohibited campaigning by public officials and holders of other stipulated posts do not appear to be linked to any sanctions, detracting from effectiveness of regulation and enforcement. For this purpose and as underlined by the Venice Commission and ODIHR Joint Guidelines for preventing and responding to the misuse of administrative resources during electoral processes, “[a]n institution functionally independent from other authorities should be responsible for auditing political parties and candidates in their use of administrative resources during electoral processes. In this respect, such a body, regardless of its institutional form, should act impartially and effectively.” The Joint Guidelines also state that “[t]he legal framework should provide for an effective system of appeals before a competent, independent and impartial court, or an equivalent judicial body: an independent judiciary is a sine qua non condition for sanctioning the misuse of administrative resources.”
