The Election Commission stated that steps will be taken to legalize election ethics.
The Chairman of the Election Commission Nimal G. Punchihewa stated that up to now, those who violate election laws in this country cannot be punished by law.
He also stated that although the election code of conduct had been presented and published in a gazette notification as before, there was no course of action to be taken against those who violated the code of conduct.
He pointed out that due to this a large number of conflicts had arisen in the recent past and therefore steps were taken to come up with such an idea.
