PETALING JAYA: Bersih has called on parties and candidates in the 15th general election (GE15) to stay clear of campaigning in ways that may violate the Electoral Offences Act 1954.
The electoral reform group said it observed that many parties and candidates were found to have engaged in activities which might be deemed as electoral offences and unethical.
This included offering to change motorcycle engine oil for free, which may be a form of bribery under Section 10 of the Act.
It also said an initiative by Penang DAP to subsidise the travel expenses for voters to return home to cast their ballots was a violation of Sections 10 and 20 of the Act.
