Paragraph 68
 

In a welcome development, and in line with international standards and good practice, the draft law includes a number of requirements for the information during the campaign period to be provided also in a format adapted to the needs of persons with disabilities. This includes various provisions obliging public broadcasters to air campaign-related content in an accessible format. Articles 80 and 81 of the draft law also place similar obligations on election contestants requiring sign language interpretation to be provided during campaign events and for campaign materials such as leaflets and videos to be adjusted for persons with disabilities.
