But regular publishing procedures apply also explicitly to online media.

"3D: Meaning of publish
In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, publish, in relation to an
election advertisement, means to bring to the notice of a person in any manner—
(a) including—
...(viii) disseminating by means of the Internet or any other electronic medium"
