51.—(1) No payment or contract for payment is, for the purpose of promoting or procuring the election of any candidate at any election, to be made —(a) on account of the conveyance of electors or voters to or from the poll, whether for the hiring of vehicles or animals of transport of any kind whatsoever, or for railway or other fares, or otherwise; or (b) to or with an elector or voter on account of the use of any house, land, building or premises for the exhibition of any address, bill or notice, or on account of the exhibition of any address, bill or notice. (2) Despite anything in subsection (1) —(a) where it is the ordinary business of an elector or voter as an advertising agent to exhibit for payment bills and advertisements, a payment to or contract with the elector or voter, if made in the ordinary course of business, is not to be deemed to be an illegal practice within the meaning of this section; and (b) where electors or voters are unable at an election to reach their polling stations from their place of residence without crossing the sea, means may be provided for conveying those electors or voters by sea to their polling stations and the amount of payment for such means of conveyance may be in addition to the maximum amount of expenses allowed by this Act.
