RT General Election 2024: Critical Election Period

22/11/2024

The broadcasting regulator, Coimisi n na Me n has removed the traditional broadcast

Moratorium for television and radio.

It has been replaced with a Critical Election Period commencing at 7am on Thursday 28

November until the close of polls on Friday 29 November.

Section 10 of the Guidance issued by the Commission on 01 November last, deals with the

Critical Election Period which requires broadcasters to ensure additional care in this period.

The full details of Section 10 are included in the link below.

The RT Election Steering Group has reviewed this guidance from the Commission.
