The official one-month electoral campaign, initiated on February 19th, is subject to legal requirements. According to the Electoral and Referendum Campaign Act, it must conclude 24 hours prior to the voting day. During this specific electoral hiatus, any activity designed to influence voters’ decisions regarding a candidate is strictly prohibited.
There has been considerable discussion surrounding the possibility of altering the legislation. Ideas have emerged to eliminate the electoral hiatus, particularly given the proliferation of social networks and instances of external influence experienced by other nations. This situation has largely defined the Slovenian campaign.
However, the politicians have opted not to implement changes immediately before the elections. Consequently, the mandatory electoral hiatus remains in effect. This ensures a level playing field for all candidates and voters.
The focus remains on ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process. Authorities are vigilant in monitoring activities to prevent any undue influence on voters. The legal framework is designed to safeguard the integrity of the voting process.
