Today we continue excerpts from the Political Code of Conduct agreed to in Parliament between the two major political parties in September 2005. It extends to, and applies to all members of political parties operating in Jamaica.

Freedom of Access

a) Nothing should be done to unlawfully prevent or restrict anyone from canvassing or campaigning in any place.

b) Nothing should be done to unlawfully restrict or jeopardise the movement along any public road, of anyone or any group of persons engaged in legitimate political activity.

6. Avoidance of defacing of buildings or installations

a) There should be no defacing of any structure, roadway or installation (whether privately or publicly owned) for the purpose of displaying any political message or slogan, except in such manner as is permitted by law.

b) No action in relation to the distribution of any pamphlet, handbill, poster or any similar material shall be taken in such manner as would constitute a breach of the Anti-litter Act.
