Section 77

A badge, symbol, rosette, favour, set of colours, flag, advertisement, handbill, placard or poster or any replica of a voting paper must not be worn, used, carried or displayed by any person or on any motorcar, truck or other vehicle as political propaganda on polling day or on the eve of polling day at an election.

The prohibition under subsection (1) does not preclude the wearing on his or her person by a candidate of a badge indicating his or her affiliation with a political party or a replica of the symbol allotted to him or her or to the group of candidates to which he or she belongs under section 34 or 34A, as the case may be.

The offence under subsection (4) is an arrestable offence within the meaning of the Criminal Procedure Code 2010.

Any person who contravenes subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months.
