Prohibition against Canvassing Activities outside Polling Stations
A large "no canvassing arca" (NCA) will be designated outside each polling station to ensure the free and safe passage of electors into the polling station. In the public places within a NCA, except for authorised static display, no canvassing activities will be allowed. A "no staying area" will also be designated immediately outside the entrance of a polling station to avoid any obstruction of entry.
