Paragraph 43
 

 The publication of election-related public opinion polls (other than those on the potential electoral participation) is prohibited from 48 hours prior to the poll and until 24:00 on election day (Art. 73.12). Originally, the Unified Election Code did not provide for any deadline for the publishing of election-related opinion poll results. Such time restrictions, however, are established by law in many Western democracies. Furthermore, it must now be indicated whether or not the poll is paid for. These amendments are helpful.
