A new prohibition, added to the same article, bans assemblies “for official reasons” of public servants, directors, educators, teachers, and other persons employed in educational institutions established by the state or municipality, and other specified groups of public sector employees. While this provision appears to be aimed at preventing the past practice of public sector institutions ordering their employees to assemble for campaign meetings, the provision is not sufficiently clear, and gives rise to some concerns regarding the right to free assembly. Any limitations imposed on the public servants’ right to freedom of assembly needs to adhere to the requirements outlined in Article 22 par 2 of the ICCPR and Article 11 par 2 of the ECHR. This means that such limitations will need to be based on law, follow a legitimate aim, and be necessary and proportionate to fulfil this aim. Draft Article 48(1)(d) of the Election Code on the ban of assemblies by certaingroups of public sector employees “for official reasons” should therefore be formulated with more precision. It should be made clear that this ban is dealing with the prohibition of misuse of administrative resources during the electoral campaign.
