Accordingly election campaigns should be stopped as at 12.00 pm of 14 August,2015.

Thus a cooling period has been provided for the public to properly analyse the available information and make a decision.

During the particular period  no campaigning can be carried out either to promote or tarnish the image of a candidate contesting independently or allied to a political party.

However, since the final election rallies of the political parties and independent groups are being held on August 14, 2015 , the details of the particular proceedings can be published on 15 August, 2015.

The Election Commissioner further requests not to publish/broadcast any material including advertisements, political programmes, documents which give publicity to a particular candidate during  15,16 August and until 6.00 pm on 17 August.
