The Model Code of Conduct will be applied as soon as the dates of the elections are announced. All the parties and political leaders will be obliged to follow the conduct for the upcoming elections during the campaigning for the elections.
What is Model Code of Conduct?
The Model Code of Conduct starts when elections are announced. It’s a set of rules from the Election Commission for everyone involved in elections – like political parties, candidates, and the government.
