38 campaigning violations have been recorded and four administrative processes have been initiated.

“I would say the situation doesn't seem worrying. Very similar to previous election periods, and there has been no serious wrongdoing to worry about until now,“ Straume said.

He confirmed KNAB's readiness to respond and prevent possible violations. He added that it is common – the closer the elections, the more violations.

'We predict the likelihood that in the last few days there may be such wrongdoing that false information is presented through the use of artificial intelligence, campaigning for or against some political force. We will, of course, be prepared to respond,” the KNAB chief said.
