Before Nomination Day, it is a criminal offence to publish digitally generated or manipulated Online Election Advertising (OEA) that realistically misrepresents a prospective candidate saying or doing something he did not say or do. This includes acts that amplify access to already existing content, such as boosting, sharing and reposting such content.

The Elections Department (ELD) will publish the list of prospective candidates (if any) by 9 am daily up till Nomination Day.
