Omit [to be]

Hello everyone!

Due to no further answer I repeat my previous question.

1. Under the structure - S+V+O+C(= passive infinite), I understand that it is possible to omit [to be] and leave past perfect only
in the place of C with following verbs ;

1) want, desire, expect, etc
2) causuative verbs (make, have, get)
3) perception verbs (hear, feel, smell)

For example,

* We want our house to be repaired. (= 0)
* We want our house repaired. (= 0)

==

2. Then can we omit [to be] with the rest following verbs - advise, allow, tell, order, help, ask, etc?
That is to say, are the following sentences correct? ;

1) We asked the policy to be stopped.
2) We asked the policy stopped.
3) We helped him (to) be elected as our president.
4) We helped him elected as our president.

Always thanking for your answers,
