The Public Election Campaign comes to end before hours to election day............., Fill in the blank.
Answers
Answer: 48 hours.
Explanation:
In India under Section 126 of the Representation of People Act, 1951 it is mandatory to observe a period of 48 hours as election silence until the conclusion of the poll.
The election silence refers to a ban on all political campaign before going for an election so that the voters can have a appropriate condition to think before making a final decision on voting.
This period usually begins a day before the polling day and ends after the polling day ends. During this period no candidate or political parties are allowed to carry any active campaigning and even the digital media are barred to carry any election related matter.
During 2016, the election commission further proposed an amendment to bring the “print media” also under the above ambit of ban as till now only digital media came under the observance rule of election silence. However the proposal of including the print media is still under consideration.
Hope this helps.
