Prohibited pledges by candidates
126It is an illegal practice and an offence against this Act for any candidate for election as a member to serve in the Legislative Assembly to sign any written document presented to him by way of demand or claim made upon him, by any person, persons or associations of persons, between the date of the issue of the writ of election and the date of polling, if such document requires the candidate to follow any course of action that will prevent him from exercising freedom of action in the Legislative Assembly if elected, or to resign as such member if called upon to do so by any person, persons or associations of persons.
