All forms of election campaigning will be prohibited after 12:00 midnight under the enforcement of poll silence regulations, according to the fresh directives issued regarding electoral conduct.
The restrictions bar any kind of election-related discussions, interactions, assemblies, rallies, public meetings or promotional events. Musical performances, singing, dancing, public feasts or any activity deemed to exert undue influence will not be permitted. No candidate or political party will be allowed to campaign either in favour of or against any contender after the campaign period ends.
The rules also impose strict limitations on social media and other communication platforms. Posting, removing or sharing campaign materials on social media, online platforms, print outlets or any other medium on the day of the election or on polling day will not be allowed. Once campaigning officially closes, soliciting votes through radio, television, print media, social networks or any other channel will also be prohibited.
Authorities have further stated that no individual may obstruct voters before or during polling. Any interference with election officers or personnel deployed at polling stations is strictly forbidden.
Political parties and candidates are required to remove social media advertisements and campaign-related promotional materials. All election campaign materials must be taken down 48 hours before voting begins.
At polling centres, only authorised personnel and security staff assigned to election duties will be permitted inside designated premises. Campaigning within a 300-metre radius of polling stations will not be allowed. The measures aim to ensure orderly voting and maintain a peaceful environment during the electoral process.
