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.
