In line with internationally established standards for democratic elections, it would be convenient to revise the current limits on the amounts of time and space that may be used in the media for the purposes of electoral propaganda as thoroughly as possible. Although the inclusion, for the first time ever, of specific legislation on this matter has signified an enormous development in the Guatemalan electoral context, such limits are still too generous, and do not contribute to ensure a level playing field for those parties with smaller electoral support, and limited financial capacity. In this sense, reducing the restrictions that are currently applicable, together with the adoption of a system of legally assigned free electoral propaganda spaces in public radio, proportionate to the level of representation obtained by the different political parties contesting specific elections, may contribute to reduce the level of saturation of electoral propaganda in the media, and thereby balance the campaign options of the various parties.
