It should be noted that these types of piecemeal and narrow amendments to prevent campaign agitation and intimidation on election day do not address long-standing Venice Commission and ODIHR recommendations to include a general prohibition against any type of campaign activity starting 24 hours prior to elections.The proposed amendment also does not address ODIHR’s recurrent recommendation from the past three election observation missions that, short of a general campaign silence period, both the presence of partisan representatives and campaign activity in the areas around polling stations should be prohibited on election day. These recommendations provide a broader solution to ensuring voters are able to cast their votes free from intimidation and undue influence, and are thus reiterated. More effective law enforcement outside polling locations is also necessary to ensure enforcement of such prohibitions.
