Article 142
Electoral campaign monitoring
1. Ten days before the start of the electoral campaign, the CEC establishes the Media
Monitoring Board, which has the task of monitoring the implementation of the provisions
of this Code on the electoral campaign by public and private radio and television
broadcasters. The Media Monitoring Board exercises its activity in the whole electoral
territory. In order to perform the monitoring, the Board uses the NCRT’s technical
capacities. For local broadcasters that cannot be covered by monitoring tools of the
National Council of Radio and Television, local monitors are appointed. Local monitors
are placed at the ZEC or LGEC where the radio/television broadcaster to be monitored
has its broadcasting station. No later than three months prior to the election date, the CEC
and the NCRT sign a memorandum of understanding on the rules, modalities and time
limits for the use of the technical capacities of the NCRT for the purposes of monitoring.
2. The Board reports daily to the CEC on the conclusions of monitoring for the previous
day. Local monitors report to the ZEC or LGEC where they have been placed. A copy of
the report, together with the opinion of the ZEC or LGEC, is sent immediately to the
Media Monitoring Board and becomes a part of the daily report to the CEC.
3. Complaints of electoral subjects are examined alongside the report of the monitoring
board.
4. The CEC makes the decision on the approval or rejection of the report and the
application, as appropriate, of respective sanctions. The CEC decisions can be appealed
in accordance with the procedures provided in this Code.
5. The Board cannot have more than 7 members. The composition, modalities of functioning
and procedures to be followed by the Board are established by a decision of the CEC.
6. Public and private radio and television broadcasters are obliged to register all their
transmissions during the electoral campaign period. These registrations are kept for a
three-month period after the end of the elections and made available to the CEC
immediately upon the request of the Commission.
