38. Is there a ban on vote buying?

Article 60 of the Local Elections Law, article 14 of the Law on Parliamentary elections, Article 64, para 6 of the Law on Presidential election.

There is a discrepancy between the definitions of vote-buying stipulated in the election law and Criminal Code. While the election laws  allow the distribution of campaign materials with value not exceeding 5 per cent of a minimum wage, the Criminal Code (Article 160) sets a 3 per cent limit.
