please quote a passage in the cooling regulation that states cooling will extend to polling as well
not everyone has super memory like you
No campaigning and election advertising are allowed on both the Cooling-Off Day and Polling Day, the Elections Department reminded political parties in a statement issued today.
This year, Cooling-Off Day falls on May 6, one day before Polling Day on May 7.
Campaigning is not allowed and election advertising must not be published or displayed so that voters can reflect rationally on various issues raised before going to the polls.
The following may not be done on both days:
- Publication and display of election advertising (including the Internet, SMSes/MMSes) not already lawfully displayed or published before the start of Cooling-off Day
- Canvassing, visiting homes and workplaces of voters in connection with the election
- Wearing, carrying or displaying any political insignia or propaganda (such as badge, symbol, rosette, favour, set of colours, flag, advertisement, handbill, placard, poster or replica of voting paper)
- Holding of election meetings
However, the following may still occur:
- Party political broadcasts on television
- News relating to elections published in newspapers or broadcast on radio or television
- Approved posters/banners lawfully displayed before the start of Cooling-off Day
- Other Election advertising (including Internet election advertising) lawfully displayed or published before the start of Cooling-off Day
- Distribution or promotion of sale of any book if the publication of the book was scheduled for publication independent of the elections and the book is not sold at less than its commercial value
- The transmission by any individual of his personal political views to another individual, on a non-commercial basis, using the telephone, Internet or other electronic means
- Wearing of party badges or symbols by candidates
Candidates and supporters are also not allowed to visit their constituents or attend public events within their constituencies on both days.
However, attending religious ceremonies or worship services, or attending functions in the course of work or employment are still allowed, provided that it falls within the general rule prohibiting campaigning and election advertising on Cooling-off Day and Polling Day.
Election survey results may not be published on Cooling-off Day and Polling Day. Exit polls may also not be published before the close of all polling stations.
Anyone found guilty of committing these offences can be fined or imprisoned.
