Candidates vying for House of Councilors seats in Sunday's election will not have the luxury of updating their positions or activities via the popular medium of the Internet.
Most candidates have Web sites, Web logs, or blogs, and e-mail newsletters, but had to put all their information out by the night of June 23, as the Public Offices Election Law does not allow them to update their sites or send any electronic information during the June 24-July 11 campaign period.
They can keep any information that was posted before June 24 up on their sites, as it is still considered part of day-to-day political operations and not campaign activities, which are subject to the election law.
