A review of the Ofcom Rules on Party Political and Referendum Broadcasts and Proposed Ofcom Guidance for broadcast coverage of elections

This Statement sets out: the responses from stakeholders to Ofcom's consultation ("the Consultation") ; and our response and decisions in relation to:

• Ofcom's rules on Party Political and Referendum Broadcasts ("the PPRB Rules") - see Section 3; and
• guidance relating to Section Five (due impartiality) and Section Six (elections) of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code ("the Code"), including minor amendments to the Code - see Section 4. This Guidance aims to help broadcasters comply with the Code when broadcasters produce their own coverage of elections and referendums.
