Quote
"The rights of freedom of expression and information are guaranteed…. In terms of content, every form of subjective idea or opinion capable of transmission is protected by this article. While [the] scope of the article is not confined to one medium of expression, its importance for political expression should be evident. The electoral process is a mechanism whose very purpose is the expression of the political will of the people. The right to express partisan ideas must, therefore, be firmly guarded during election periods."
