Elections committee chair says candidates cannot be interviewed today
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJustice Hanan Melcer, head of the Central Elections Committee that administers the election, says political candidates are not allowed to be interviewed by media outlets today.
This is the first time such an order has been issued. Melcer based his order on election laws that forbid electioneering and campaign advertising from 7 p.m. the evening before election day.
The instruction is under discussion at a committee meeting after an appeal.
