(1) The National Election Commission shall assess objections relating to the participation in election campaigns of media service providers, the press and movie theatres in violation of the provisions of this Act. The parliamentary single-member constituency election commission of the seat or domicile of the media content provider shall assess objections relating to a district, local or on-demand media service or a press product that is distributed in an area smaller than the whole country at the election of the Members of the National Assembly, and the regional election commission of the seat or domicile of the media content provider shall do so at the election of the Members of the European Parliament, the election of local government representatives and mayors and the election of national minority self-government representatives.

(2) For a violation of law in the page-for-page electronic copy of a printed press product, the time limit for submitting the objection shall expire on the third day after the publication of the printed press product.

(3) The applicant shall specify in the objection or, if possible, attach to it the programme that proves the violation of law. If the applicant did not attach the programme in question to the objection, the competent election commission as defined in paragraph (1) shall obtain it ex officio if necessary.

(4) Objections to an internet media content that is in violation of law shall be submitted within three days after the publication of the media content. An objection shall not be dismissed for late submission if it was submitted within three days after the detection of violation, and upon being called to do so by the election commission, the content provider is unable to provide sufficient evidence proving the date of publication of the media content.

(5) An objection shall not be examined as to its merits if the internet media content specified therein is an unaltered replication of other media content, and the objection is submitted later than three days after the date of publication of the original media content.
