The draft law reflects a considerable change in approach to the publication of opinion polls by the media. The previous 15-day restriction in Article 63 of the current law has been significantly shortened to 48 hours before election day. This is a positive change. Extensive prohibitions on publication of opinion polls raise questions of compliance with the principle of freedom of expression and with the right to receive and impart information,48 which may not achieve their aims as it is not possible in practice to restrict access to the results of these polls through websites registered abroad.
