The legal provision prohibiting paid advertising during an election campaign could be reconsidered. If paid advertising is introduced, it should be regulated by rules guaranteeing equal conditions to all contestants and enable voters to clearly identify when such advertising is in use. Limits on the quantity of paid advertising political contestants are entitled to purchase could be imposed, as well as on the amount of airtime media are allowed to broadcast daily. Another way to regulate paid political advertising would be to impose limits on campaign expenditures of Parties and Candidates.
