ComCom Issues BMG with a Protocol for Violating the Election Code
The Communications Commission has issued the television company BMG with a violation protocol for broadcasting a public opinion poll in violation of the law.
As a result of pre-election media monitoring, it was established that the broadcaster unlawfully aired the public opinion poll on 14 September. Specifically, the company violated the Election Code of Georgia, which states that when publishing public opinion poll results, the broadcaster must specify the person ordering the poll, the date of the poll, the possible margin of error, and whether the poll is paid or free of charge.
Due to the aforementioned violation, the Commission found BMG guilty of violating the law and will submit a violation protocol to the court.
