Yes, there are rules which apply to the broadcast media throughout the campaign. Eg if a specific constituency is mentioned, all the candidates then have to be named.
On the day of the election ie from 12 midnight until 10pm, they are pretty much prohibited from mentioning politics at all.

It is not like the election wasn't mentioned. It was third story. Fair play if this is the norm. I can't say I recall it to be just.
Always like this.
