Party members who are removed from a party post may not hold a position within the party or outside the party that is equivalent to or higher than their original position within two years. The probationary punishment is divided into probationary punishment for one year and probationary punishment for two years. During the probationary period, a party member shall not have the right to vote, elect, or be elected.

Party members given probationary punishment, have their positions within and outside the party will be revoked. A party member who receives probationary punishment will have his or her party membership rights restored or be expelled depending on performance. Within two years after the restoration of party membership rights, the party member shall not hold a position within or outside the party that is equivalent to or higher than their original position.[4]
