The delay in publishing clear campaigning rules has left opposition parties at an impasse. Members of the public responding to the ELD’s reasons for delaying the release of campaigning rules have asked why the authority can’t issue preliminary campaigning guidelines then amend the protocols as the COVID restrictions evolve.
Netizens are also questioning how the ELD can claim that it will give political parties “enough time to prepare their physical campaigning strategies” since it has no say in when the election is called. Only the Prime Minister, who is the chief of the ruling party, can decide when to call an election.
