Paragraph 136
 

As regards the referendum campaign, Article 202 offers a general cross-reference to Chapter VIII, dealing with the conduct of the election campaign. It would be beneficial to add details specific to referendums, clarifying in particular whether the principle of equality in campaigning applies to each referendum participant individually or cumulatively to those supporting a "yes" or "no" option. General rules on election campaign finance apply to referendum campaigns and are incorporated in Chapter V, albeit without an explicit reference made in the chapter on referendums.
