November 14, Colombo (LNW): The National Election Commission has called on all media outlets and social media users to refrain from releasing unofficial election results before the commission’s formal announcements.
In a recent statement, the Commission stressed the importance of following established guidelines to ensure accuracy and maintain public trust during the election period.
This request follows a Gazette notification issued on September 25, which outlines strict media protocols for election coverage.
The Election Commission has reminded all platforms—print, broadcast, digital, and social media—to strictly adhere to these regulations.
The guidelines aim to prevent misinformation and maintain public order as vote counts are tallied and results prepared for official release.
