Repealed by Resolution 2/2007 (III. 19.) of the National Election Committee

Acting within its competence as laid down in Section 34 (2) a) of Act C of 1997 on Electoral Procedure (Ve.), the National Election Committee issued the following

resolution:

According to Section 40 (2) of the Ve., "it is prohibited to conduct an election campaign from 0:00 on the day preceding the vote until the end of the vote (campaign silence)".

According to Section 41 of the Ve., a violation of the campaign silence includes, among other actions, "placing an election poster, providing information that may influence a voter's will through electronic or other means".

In view of the above, it constitutes a violation of campaign silence if, after it has begun, any written or electronic medium mentions or features a person or party that can be linked to the election, or provides information about the number and composition of candidates, potential withdrawals, etc. This requirement also applies to the repetition of previously recorded programs. During the campaign silence, the ballot counting committee is entitled to provide information about a withdrawn candidate, as per Section 67 (3) of the Ve.
