These restrictions should also be assessed against the above-mentioned scope for justified restrictions to Article 11 ECHR and Article 22 ICCPR, but seem particularly relevant as they also limit the “passive” aspect of the rights enshrined in Article 3 of Protocol 1 to the ECHR and Article 25(b) ICCPR (the last-mentioned article is particularly relevant for local and presidential elections which are not covered by Article 3 of Protocol 1). Limitations imposed on political parties’ impact not just the party but also its members’ electoral rights, as well as citizens at large: if a party’s activities are limited or the party is dissolved, its members might be deprived of a vehicle to run in elections and, in turn, citizens may be deprived of the full range of political choices.
