Delay

On 18 June 2020, the INE proposed three potential dates to hold the elections: 30 August, 6 September, or 20 September. [3] Ultimately, on 30 July 2020, the INE officially announced that the elections would take place on October 18, 2020, with the campaign period commencing 70 days prior to the election day. [4]
