It's not authoritative, I realise, but there's no mention of electric shielding in the absence of magnetic shielding here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage.

You'll know of course that, except when they are constant, the electric and magnetic parts of the EM field are inseparable (curl E = -dB/dt, curl H = Jf + dD/dt). Anything which affects one will have at least some effect on the other. The magnitude of that effect is less at lower frequencies, but it is still there, even down in the audio range.
