我举报了保罗木头的行为，但是看上去不算违法。
Kia ora, Thank you for contacting the Electoral Commission. Regarding the photograph of the voting paper, we ask people not to film or take photos of voting papers or of people as they vote, or in a way that disrupts voting. Our approach of limiting the circumstances in which people can photograph or film inside voting places is an operational decision to ensure a good voting experience for all voters. We discourage the practice because of the importance of protecting the privacy of other voters and the secrecy of the ballot. For this reason, we have “No Photos” signs at all voting places. The Electoral Act 1993 does not make it an offence to take photographs in a voting place. However, there is a general duty under section 194 of the Electoral Act for the voting place manager of each voting place to maintain order and keep the peace. Their powers under this section allow a person to be removed if their behaviour is disruptive or causes a disturbance. The other reason we discourage the practice are the risks associated with the publication of photographs online. While the rules are less restrictive during advance voting, publishing anything on election day that could potentially influence another voter is strictly prohibited, and photos taken earlier in the voting period that are shared, re-shared, or reposted on election day could fall foul of the Electoral Act. If a person posts an image of their completed ballot paper on social media on election day it is likely to be considered an offence under section 197 of the Electoral Act. This carries a potential penalty of a fine not exceeding $20,000. Section 197 of the Electoral Act prohibits a range of activities including the publication of any statement on election day that is likely to influence voters (section 197(1)(g). It also potentially exposes the voter’s friends to the risk of breaching the rules if they share, re-share, or repost the voter’s ‘selfie’ on election day. Regarding comments posted by an individual on a website such as Skykiwi, individuals expressing their personal political views online is allowed under the election rules (except for on election day) and this may be the case here.
