The Elections Commission is set to 'label' media institutions that do not abide by the guidelines issued by the Elections Commission.

These labels will indicate the biases of each media institution that do not follow the guidelines in the lead up to the Presidential election.

Elections Commission Chairman Mahinda Deshapriya recently claimed that a number of media institutions did not follow the guidelines issued by the commission on election coverage.

The decision was reached during a meeting attended by all Presidential candidates and their representatives.
