Essential - Introduction of an article within the new permanent electoral law outlining conditions for election and referendum campaign funding.
Addressed to - Legislative Branch; Political Parties.
Possible Improvements Suggested - According to international standards, reasonable limitations on campaign expenditure may be justified to ensure that the free choice of voters is not undermined or the democratic process distorted by disproportionate campaigning on behalf of any candidate or party. Campaign financing regulation promotes transparency and requires details on the sources of funding and items expenditure. Restrictions on campaign spending are reasonable and allow for adequate campaigning.
