Cake 1.2.6

Can anyone explain how this is supposed to work? As is too often the
case, the cookbook example is very unclear. For one thing, how does
one specify which field this rule applies to?

This is what I have now (the 'ElectionOffice' rule):

class Election extends AppModel
{
        var $hasMany = array('ElectionBallot');
        var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('ElectionOffice');

        var $validate = array(
                'deadline' => array(
                        'rule' => 'date',
                        'required' => true,
                        'allowEmpty' => false,
                        'message' => 'You must declare a deadline date.'
                ),
                'ElectionOffice' => array(
                        'rule' => array('multiple', array('min' => 1)),
                        'required' => true,
                        'message' => 'Please select at least one Office'
                )
        );
}

ElectionsController:

public function admin_add()
{
        if (!empty($this->data))
        {
                $this->Election->set($this->data);

                if ($this->Election->save())
                {
                        $this->flash(
                                'Election created',
                                array('action' => 'index')
                        );
                }
        }
        $offices = $this->ElectionOffice->find('list');
        $this->set(compact('offices'));
}

form:

<?= $form->select(
        'ElectionOffice.id',
        $offices,
        null,
        array('multiple' => 'checkbox', 'checked' => true)
) ?>

PS: 'checked' => true isn't working either. 'selected' didn't work and
I found a comment online saying to use 'checked'. What's the proper
param?
