The Constitution, Law and Justice Committee approves the law for the expected 2022 elections.
The bill includes amendments that will oblige parties to disclose involvement in any publication, including talkback comments on websites. However the rule for the so-called “transparency clause” will only be valid during election season.
In addition, ballot boxes will be placed in all nursing homes with a minimum of 75 residents.
Also, the Central Elections Committee will publish voter turnout figures five times throughout election day, including regional figures as well as the single national voting rate.
