It was always my understanding that this was the case, and as far as I know people have always stopped discussing after the campaigning was over. There are people who already voted and who are not subscribed to this list. They might have read the archive up to the day they voted. I also want to compare this to other elections. As far as I know, as long as voting booths are open there are no interviews with politicians, they don't make things like exit polls available and so on. They only get to persuade people before the booths open. If people feel that we don't need to do so, please feel free to discuss that here. Kurt
