Section 27A is a law of sufficient certainty and accessibility and pursues the legitimate aim of protecting electoral integrity under ECICO and the NPC Decision; the prohibition is temporally and contextually confined to public activity during election periods, is rationally connected to preventing manipulation of elections, is no more than reasonably necessary given available defences and legislative context and strikes a reasonable balance; the equality challenge fails because the comparator activities are materially different and any differential treatment is justified.
