Paragraph 60
 

There are shortcomings in the articles regulating the electoral campaign and campaign finances.  In general the Electoral Code does not provide minimum guarantees to ensure presentation of political views during an election campaign. The Code does not provide minimum guarantees for access to media, adequate campaign funding, and sufficient time to campaign, thereby failing to ensure that parties and candidates are free to present their views and qualifications and voters are able to learn and discuss contestants’ views and qualifications.
