While campaign coverage is sometimes regulated in detail by the electoral law (e.g. Albania, North Macedonia), in a number of countries the provisions of the electoral law concerning media during election campaigns are rather brief (or non-existent). Detailed provisions, though, are often found in media laws or in rules established by election management or media supervisory bodies. Thus, a comprehensive analysis of the media’s role in elections should not only refer to electoral laws, but also to other relevant regulations.
