Abstract

_{An election campaign is an inseparable element in an election process. During this time candidates convince citizens to vote for them or they try to denigrate an opponent. Sometimes they use to lie to destroy the political rival’s image. An election law forbids doing such things, because it makes campaign unfair and it could infringe personal rights. An author in this article tries to answer such questions as: What legal measures have candidates in elections after the infringement of their rights? What are the rules of court procedure in these cases?}
