The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Wednesday (April 8, 2026) noted that political advertisements were appearing on channels and online platforms on the eve of the April 9 Kerala Assembly polls and sought that they be removed immediately.
The instruction was circulated by the ECI’s Kerala office in an official WhatsApp group comprising media groups and journalists.
“Advertisements are appearing on channels and online platforms. This is not permitted during the silence period. It is requested that these be withdrawn immediately,” the message said.
