Article 70(13) prohibits electoral competitors from organising concerts, competitions, other events or demonstrations "involving interpreters, creative and artistic staff both in the country and abroad", to display slogans or other messages, to distribute material containing the electoral competitor's symbols or other identifiers, as well as to participate in such events for political promotion. While such restrictions may be aimed at guaranteeing a level playing field, they also restrict freedom of expression and limit campaign opportunities. The aim of increasing the level playing field could also be achieved through explicitly regulating the accounting and reporting of the financial aspects of such events, including any in-kind donations. In effect, such restrictions impose limitations on the choice of communication and are difficult to justify even under the draft Code’s list of permissible grounds for restricting freedom of campaigning provided in Article 70(2), i.e., those which are necessary for a democratic society, national security, territorial integrity or public security, for the prevention of disorder and crime, for the protection of health or morals, etc. It is recommended to reconsider the prohibitions of various types of events, as prescribed in Article 70(13) of the draft Code).
