All election related legislation and ordinances should be in place well before the commencement of the election campaign. Furthermore the late promulgation of the election schedule seriously restricted the campaign and activities of the political parties. This should not reoccur nor should measures be introduced which seriously restrict the freedom of assembly and the freedom of speech for candidates, which are essential components of a democratic election.
