Paragraph 22
 

22.  The SEC, which was previously established under the Parliamentary Election Law, does not have direct regulatory authority over various aspects of the electoral campaign. Instead, the Parliament itself, as well as other State bodies, adopt policies and take up matters in the various areas related to the campaign – including media in general, the electronic media, campaign violations, and limitations and reporting on campaign finance. While noting improvements in certain areas, especially media and broadcasting, observers have continued to point out various issues, including with respect to equal access of election contestants to the media (especially in connection with advertising) and incomplete and after-the-fact reporting of campaign contributions and expenditures.
