Frequency of voter education programs
Question:At the national level, how often are voter education programs conducted?
Answer: b. Election time only
Comments: Voter education occurs at the national level when the announcement of a new election takes place. This is when the date of the election is provided and often when political parties begin campaigning. However, "election law does not stipulate rules for the conduct of election campaigns, either as regards the maximum amount of money to be spent or the time periods where campaigning may – or may not – take place." But it is important to note that advertisements by politicians and political parties is not permitted on "national Danish television and radio and local Danish television channels [...] but are allowed on commercial radio broadcasting channels." Finally, the "conduct and publication of opinion polls are not regulated by law. Consequently, such polls can be carried out and published right up to (or even on) election day."
