agree  Nedzad Selmanovic: this is the right one. I usput rečeno, preveo sam taj termin toliko puta da se ne mogu više ni sjetiti koliko. UNMIBH je koristio ovaj termin.

neutral  vorloff: OHR uses that, OSCE uses "campaign silence period" (in the law and P. R). Both work, but to me, that sounds more natural in English, and less like a trans. www.osce.org/news/generate.pf.php3?news_id=1285 www.usembassy.it/file2000_09/alia/a009280a.htm

(election) media blackout


Explanation:
This is more idiomatic than any "silence" solution. (Check the Web references below. Also: http://data.opi.state.mt.us/bills/2001/BillHtml/HJ0004.htm).

OTOH, a "media blackout" can also mean something else: "keeping the public in the dark about something".
