Preventing the progressive phenomena of negative campaign, demagogy and dissemination of false information is one the most important challenges for a qualitative election campaign. One of the solutions may be establishing accelerated electoral proceedings, for which a pattern can be sought inter alia, in polish legislation (article 111 of Polish Electoral Code). Although the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has never comprehensively commented on accelerated control mechanism in the election campaign, the case-law analysis allows to identify the minimum standards. The article indicates a cross-sectional understanding of freedom of expression in regard to electoral campaign, as well as minimum requirements to be met by those mechanism.References
