Essential - Establishment of free air time during referenda.
Possible Improvements Suggested - The Election Law generally states that candidates and political parties shall be guaranteed equal conditions of access to the state-owned media through the broadcasting of free airtime. According to CNE Resolution No. 0201/2008 Art 7 (21 November 2008) this right was suspended “due to the nature of referendum (..) free of charge airtime in the state electronic media is not foreseen.” There should be free air time on state-owned media during referenda.
Timeline - In time for the next referenda.
