The candidates at the upcoming presidential and local elections will not be allowed to appear in shows that are directly or indirectly related to the election process until the start of the official election campaign. Participation in shows that are not related to the elections but could influence the election process is also forbidden. Interviews with the possible candidates and representatives of political parties are not allowed to be held on the news. Only views of independent experts can be used until the start of the election campaign, while information related to the activities of the political parties can be aired only on the news. This is part of the regulations introduced by the Broadcasting Council with the aim of preventing the electronic media from violating the Election Code.

The Broadcasting Council analyzed approximately 20 news reports aired on various media. These media carried positions of political parties and independent presidential candidates, which is contrary to the Election Code regulations concerning political marketing, that is, premature marketing. The fine for breach of these regulations is between 3,000 and 5,000 euros.
