Quote
"The regulation of misuse of administrative resources in the domestic legal framework can be explicit or implicit. On the one hand, laws can explicitly provide for a general prohibition of the misuse of administrative resources. (…) Also, implicit provisions aiming at countering instances of misuse of administrative resources can be included in domestic legislation, such as through the establishment of guarantees (e.g. requiring a level playing field for all candidates; or by generally sanctioning breaches of official duties by electoral commissions) which are relevant safeguards against any abuse. Of course, explicit and implicit regulation may occur cumulatively."
