B. MEDIA MONITORING RESULTS

The CEC allocated a significant amount of free airtime and space in state-owned media outlets, dividing it equally among contesting political parties, in compliance with its legal obligation. A total of 18 hours of free-of-charge political advertising was broadcast on state-owned television stations during the monitored period. Parties made little use of the opportunity to buy additional airtime.
