I hereby submit this as something that I find to be a more effective way of dealing with CoIs rather than making weird restrictive laws that are full of holes. I'll let Rebs decide whether this constitutes a competing law to this (I can think of good arguments in either direction).

Elections Act, Article 2 Wrote:(3) To be eligible to be included in a voting ballot, any candidate must post a campaign in an area designated by the Election Commission. The campaign must prominently include a truthful declaration of all potential conflicts of interest the candidate may have within and outside of the South Pacific.

What I said about it elsewhere:

That way, CoIs are required (rather than just "tradition") and it's right in the voter's face as they make a decision, rather than in some other thread.

Another thing to consider later is to add a requirement that any elected and appointed officials keep an up-to-date conflict of interest report. This could be done as a separate accountability act, with things taken from a prior (ill-fated) idea I had a while back. That can be done in two steps, however.
