The influence that the general relativity effect of dragging inertial reference frames (DIRF) has on electric fields induced near a rotating compact neutron star is examined. Explicit analytical expressions for the arbitrary multipole magnetic and electric fields in the near zone are obtained. When the neutron star rotates as a solid body, the DIRF effect reduces the magnitude of the electric field near the stellar surface. The situation whereby the core and crust of the neutron star can rotate with different angular velocities is discussed. The obtained results must be accounted for both in the calculation of electric fields near the neutron star and upon examination of the mechanisms of transformation of the neutron star's rotational energy into the energy of relativistic particles and electromagnetic radiation.
