As the highest electoral authority, the TSE must have the adequate legal and technical instruments at its disposal to develop its auditing functions as regards the role of the media in the context of the electoral campaign. In this sense, it would be convenient, that within any potential reform of the Electoral and Political Party Law, consideration be given to the possibility of extending a budgetary line to the TSE, for a specific media monitoring unit, which will allow the electoral administration to supervise the work of the media during the electoral process. In so doing, the TSE will be in a better position to detect whether the media comply with the various legal requirements as laid out in the Electoral and Political Party Law, as well as the Control and Audit Regulation of Publicity Campaigns in General Elections (Reglamento de Control y Fiscalización de las Campañas Publicitarias de las Elecciones Generales), regarding the broadcasting of electoral propaganda. Furthermore, the TSE should be granted the necessary sanctioning powers to be able to act effectively in the face of any possible violations of the aforementioned regulations.
