- The Election Commission imposed ‘Model Code of Conduct’ (MCC) on the entire nation with immediate effect on March 10, 2019.
- This is for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, following its announcement of the complete election schedule.
- The Lok Sabha election 2019 will be held in seven phases this year, and counting will start on 23 May 2019.
- The term of the present 16th Lok Sabha ends on June 3.
- MCC deals with eight key provisions – general conduct, meetings, processions, polling day, polling booths, observers, the party in power and election manifestos.
- If a party violates the MCC, they cannot be charged for violating a section of the code as it has no statutory backing.
