No, candidates cannot distribute gifts or freebies during Bar Council election campaigning. Giving gifts, offers, or any kind of material benefit is treated as an unfair practice and is strictly prohibited. Such actions can influence voters wrongly and affect the fairness of the election. If a candidate is found giving freebies, their nomination can be challenged, they may be disqualified, or other penalties may be imposed. Candidates must keep their campaign simple, honest, and within ethical limits. This rule helps maintain transparency, equality, and a clean election environment for all advocates.
