mentioned in the Law shall expire six months after the announcement of
the results or from the date of the last judicial procedure therein.
b. At the commencement of the elections stage, the Attorney General issues
a decision forming a committee specialized in electoral crimes composed
of an adequate number of members of the Public Prosecution office who
are specialized in investigating electoral crimes. Specialized courts of the
Supreme Judicial Council consider those crimes to ensure prompt
resolution of these cases. From the foregoing, the competent authority
believes that the recommendation on giving urgency to referendum and
election crimes has been achieved on the ground without the need for any
legislative amendment.
2) Text of the recommendation and summary of the response of the concerned
authority:
Issue a new law on organizing media and electoral propaganda for the
elections of the members of the Council of Representatives and the
municipal councils, to include all the issues related to the organization of
such propaganda, allocated funds, means of exercising it, and the related
prohibitions. In addition, the new law must include deterrent penalties
that prevent the violation of its provisions. The said law must also
provide for provisions that regulate the issue of funds and campaign
spending, in particular, provisions setting maximum limits to spending
and financial expenditures on electoral campaigns.
