Article 65
 

Indoor performance venues


1 - The owners of indoor performance venues or other enclosed spaces that are normally used by the public and possess the conditions needed for them to be used in the election campaign must declare this fact to the mayor at least ten days before the election campaign begins, indicating the dates on and times at which the indoor venues or enclosed spaces can be used for that purpose. In the absence of such a declaration or in the case of a proven shortage, the mayor may requisition the indoor venues and enclosed spaces that he deems necessary to the election campaign, without prejudice to the spaces’ normal and programmed activities.
2 - The time intended for election propaganda under the terms of the previous paragraph shall be divided equally between those political parties and coalitions that want it and have submitted nominations in the constituency in which the indoor venue is located.
3 - At least three days before an election campaign begins and after first consulting the agents of the lists, the mayor shall indicate the days and times that are allocated to each party and coalition, in such a way as to ensure equality between all of them.
