An Coimisiún Toghcháin has recommended that the current broadcast moratorium that covers issues concerning a referendum "should be removed from the guidelines for radio and television broadcasters before the next electoral event".
The moratorium, which is observed by television and radio broadcasters, means they cannot report on elections or referendums from 2pm on the day before the polls open until after they are closed.
The question of maintaining the moratorium is also currently being reviewed by the media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán.
The proposed change is among five key recommendations that An Coimisiún Toghcháin has included in its report on its work during the Family and Care referendums in March.
The electoral commission says the Government should publish any proposed amendment to the constitution "no later than 16 weeks before the proposed polling day".
It says the Polling Day Order for a referendum "should give a minimum of 60 days' notice of a referendum polling day".

It also suggests the design of referendum ballot papers should be reviewed ahead of the next referendum.
Meanwhile, the commission says that its work should be "funded from the Central Fund".
An Coimisiún Toghcháin was established in 2023 to provide neutral explanations of referendum proposals to the public and to encourage engagement and turnout.
It says that for the Family Care votes 2.3 million information booklets were delivered across the country, with an advertising campaign carried out focusing on voter registration and encouraging voter participation.
Chief Executive of An Coimisiún Toghcháin Art O’Leary said: "While fulfilling our referendum functions as set out in this report, we have also seen improvements that can be made including around issues of referendum campaign timings, the broadcast moratorium and the design of the ballot papers which can improve the voter experience in these kinds of constitutional votes."
