선거운동 제한체계 개선방안 연구

Abstract

It is argued that our system of election law is not only reducing the freedom of political expression with complicated regulatory systems such as subject, time, and method, but also failing to adequately capture the need for participation due to changes in the election environment. The author attempted to redesign the regulatory system based on the election advertisement on account of the uncertainty of the election campaign concept and the lack of its rationale. In other words, the act of propagating favorable or unfavorable contents for a specific candidate through advertising means such as paid media is designated as an election advertisement, and only the political parties and candidates can advertise freely within budget limits. Instead, they should be notified to the Election Commission and made public on the homepage, which will enhance transparency. On the other hand, also regarding the election campaign method other than election advertisement, I tried to minimize the adverse effects of deregulation by limiting the illegal act of deceiving electors by abusing that method. Under this logic, I described how it applies to each medium such as media, publishing, etc. and how we can redesign the current restrictions.
