Likewise, the broadcasters and distributors of advertising must remove all the electoral display and other electoral advertising materials, with the exception of the materials developed by the electoral bodies.

Campaigning on election day and the previous day constitutes an administrative offence and is punishable. In the case of individuals, a fine of 40 to 60 conventional units is applied, and in the case of legal entities – a fine of 100 to 150 conventional units.
