Paragraph 25
 

The provision that all campaigning (including sociological research, public opinion polls’ results and forecast) must stop 15 days before the referendum day (Article 20.13) is exaggerated and given the present-day technical possibilities not too realistic. The extreme length of the prohibition period restricts the right of the citizens to get the necessary information in order to make the appropriate choice at the polls.
