What would you call someone printing and distributed flyers helpfully informing a neighbourhood that Election Day falls on May 5 when the actual Election Day is on May 4?

Partisan participation in the election process.
A country that doesn't adequately inform their citizens when it's holding an election, so they can easily be mislead by fliers.
