[Debussy]

(1) Any person who, during the course of an election, irrelevant of whether they themselves are/were a candidate, uses the in-game mass telegram power granted to communication regional officers shall have committed Electoral Fraud.

Why would it be fraud simply to use the feature? It should be when they use the feature to give their campaign an advantage.

(2) Any person who, during the course of an election, irrelevant of whether they themselves are/were a candidate, uses any monetary method including stamps to promote themselves, their campaign, damage the campaign of another or likewise shall have committed Electoral Fraud.

What if they are using stamps to promote a World Assembly proposal?

[Domais]

Fixed.

[Debussy]

(1) Any person who, during the course of an election, uses the communications powers granted to regional officers in an attempt to influence, promote, or damage an electoral campaign shall have committed electoral fraud.

(2) Any person who, during the course of an election, uses any monetary method including stamps to promote themselves, their campaign, damage the campaign of another or likewise shall have committed electoral fraud.

I made some edits. Would this work for you?

[Domais]

Yes
