What is the neces

The model code of conduct is a set of guidelines issued by the Election Commission in a democracy. These are laid down by the commission and every political party, who is contesting in the actions has to follow these rules. This model code of conduct has a set of norms related to the following:

1. The conduct of political parties

2. The speech

3. Polling day

4. Polling booth

5. Portfolio

6. General conduct

7. Election manifesto

8. Processions and rally

It is important for every political party to follow these. If any party is found violating it, the commission has the authority to take any severe action against it. This model comes into force on the day of announcement of elections. This is done to ensure a fair and just election system and to avoid any communal clashes and conflicts among different groups.

For examples, No political party can use loudspeakers without obtaining prior permission, any leader cannot make any negative speeches in front of the general public, the leaders should refrain from using statements that might hurt the sentiments of the people or cause conflicts.
