In Spain the campaign starts 15 days before the election day and ends at the 00 hours of the day before the election. The day before the election is called "reflexion day" and is illegal to run campaign ads or have any event.
Election day is always on a Sunday.

There's a period of pre-campaign were they can't run ads but they start appearing in media more than usual. Everyone knows the parties anyway, and more or less what each stands for.
