The Central Electoral Board has told reporters that it will not back down from the resolution that called for a halt to political campaigning on radio and television as well as other media. According to Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman, the ban is on political advertising promoting candidates for office. The parties can place ads for their political institutions. Parties and candidates have cried foul in response to the resolution, with the opposition parties making the loudest protests. Both the PRD and the PRSC parties have filed motions to review the measure before the JCE. PRD candidate Miguel Vargas Maldonado asked the JCE to rescind the measure.
