Article 103 of the draft law maintains the right of candidate list submitters to photocopy election material. Positively, the provision prohibits copying voter register excerpts, although the possibility to access signed voter lists is maintained. Within seven days from the election day, all election materials can be photocopied upon request. Although the law conditions copying of election material on compliance with the law on personal data protection, it remains unclear in the draft law how the MECs should ensure compliance with this law. Also, the deadline does not appear to constitute an effective tool to ensure personal data protection or to prevent its abuse, under the established electoral cycle when municipal elections closely follow national ones.
