Any political campaigning via Facebook, Twitter and other online social networks will be banned from 6pm on election eve, Saturday until midnight on election day, Sunday. No alcohol will be on sale or served during these hours as well. More
than 900 websites will be monitored for signs of a breach of the electoral law during those hours. The ban covers not only political parties and their candidates but also the general public. Police said the use of online campaigning tools
such as Facebook and Twitter is of serious concern and police are stepping up efforts in making the users aware of the restriction.
