Aargau and Graubünden against free political spots

 
In the consultation procedure on the parliamentary initiative "Fair voting campaigns", the governments of the cantons of Aargau and Graubünden have now also expressed their opposition. Fairness cannot be prescribed by law, said the Graubünden government. Aargau also rejects state regulation of political advertising, but goes one step further: it is in favor of lifting the ban on political advertising in the electronic media in principle. It is currently prohibited. The initiative wants to create free airtime on radio and television for political advertising spots before federal referendums. All parties organized as parliamentary groups in the Federal Assembly as well as initiative or referendum committees should benefit from this.
