The suspension of institutional publicity be it at a national, state, or local level and a clear limitation on the public activities of all public servants and elected positions during the election campaign period would put an end to the risk of institutional bias, and the use of state resources in benefit of some candidates. Both the Basic Law of Suffrage and Political Parties24, and international good practices, contemplate such limitations. Furthermore, the CNE, and then Venezuelan Public Ministry should make use of the sanctioning instruments they have at their disposal to combat violations, which can also be denounced by any citizen or the legal representatives of the political parties.
