EC warns against using places of worship for election propaganda

21 Jul 2020

The Election Commission (EC) has warned political parties/independent groups from using places of worship for the purpose of conducting election propaganda activities for the forthcoming general elections. The polls body made this announcement after it received many complaints regarding election propaganda activities being carried out at religious places. The EC said complaints have been received from Colombo, Gampaha, Kalutara, Hambantota and Ampara districts. The election body said, in terms of Section 79 of the Parliamentary Elections Act, No. 1 of 1981 , anyone who carries out propaganda activities at a place of worship or utters at any words for the purpose of promoting or demoting the election, or the election campaign of any political party/independent group/candidate at religious assemblies, is guilty of the offence of undue influence. The Election Commission has strongly advised religious leaders to refrain from allowing places of worship to be used for propaganda activities for the forthcoming elections.
