120.360 Prohibition of agreement by candidate not to contest election. It shall be unlawful for any candidate in any primary or general election to agree not to
file a suit contesting the election, or to agree to dismiss or cease prosecuting such suit
after it has been filed, in consideration of the payment or promise to pay to him, or to any
other person, of any money, deputyship, clerkship, employment, or anything of value by
such successful candidate or by any other person. Any person who violates this section
shall be ineligible thereafter to hold, or become a candidate for nomination or election to,
any public office in this state, or to have his name printed on any official ballot in a
primary or general election. Any qualified voter may maintain an action to enjoin the
printing of the name of a person upon the official ballots for any primary or general
election, on the ground that such person has violated this section, and in such action the
violation may be proved by parol evidence. History: Created 1974 Ky. Acts ch. 130, sec. 177.
