During the last three nationwide, simultaneous elections of the heads of cooperatives, election commissions have rigorously monitored and strictly enforced laws against illegal election activities, such as vote-buying and slandering. Many candidates were prosecuted, tried, and in the worst cases, some had their election victories invalidated.
