Topic IndexManaging Media Relations

If a comprehensive law or regulations are in place governing specific aspects of media coverage of elections, then the practical operations of the electoral administration will be greatly facilitated as the campaign period approaches.

The work of the electoral authorities falls basically into two areas:

Ensuring the effective implementation of the laws or regulations. See The Role of the Regulatory Body - Monitoring the Process.
Informing the media about the progress of the election arrangements. See Keeping the Media Informed.

These functions are spread over four distinct periods of time:

Before the formal start of the campaign. See Pre-Campaign Issues.
During the campaign itself. See Campaign Issues.
While voting is in progress. See Election Day Reporting.
And after voting is over. See Post-Election Reporting.
