According to this, solicitation of participation in voting, which indirectly appeals for support of K candidates, is lawful.
In light of the structure content, etc. of the instant route, only the transmission of the route and the transmission was sufficiently recognizable from the elector’s point of view as an indirect appeal for support for the candidate.
shall not be deemed to exist.
Considering the fact that the content of transmission is different from the commitment of the K candidate at the time I, and that the transmission was made for the purpose of dissolution of the military, the defendant did not have the intention to violate the Public Official Election Act, and the defendant's act does not violate the social rules.

The Defendant is guilty of violating the Political Fund Act among the facts charged in the instant case, but not guilty of this part of the facts charged.
