33. What criteria determine allocation for free or subsidized access to media for political parties?

"The presidential candidates, political parties, coalitions and other electing citizens groups competing in the elections, have the right to use public broadcasting services and public television during the electoral campaign period in accordance with the terms defined by the regulations of the national Commission of Elections."

(Article 31, Electoral Law, no 12/2014 of 23 April 2014, amending Law no 8/2013 of 27 February 2013).

"The Electoral Law and, in more detail, the CNE regulation on free airtime, allocate the free airtime: fifteen minutes per week, with a maximum of three broadcastings, in TVM; five minutes daily and five minutes three days a week, respectively, in the national and provincial RM stations. The law establishes an extra five minutes for each presidential candidate in the last day of the electoral campaign."

The National Commission of Elections sets the criteria.
