Paragraph 41
 

As a matter of legislative consistency, the penalties provided in the Contravention Code are normally imposed for the breach of provisions contained in the respective subject-matter legislation. With the exception of “hate speech” (see above), the suggested new penalties in Article 52 of the Contravention Code do not appear to correspond to prohibitions in the Electoral Code. The alignment of such prohibitions could be considered.
