The Model Code of Conduct is a set of rules and guidelines established by the Election Commission to ensure the fair and free conduct of elections. 
 

The Model Code of Conduct monitors the actions of political parties, candidates, and the ruling party during the elections. 

During the Model Code of Conduct, certain activities are prohibited, including organizing parties at government expense and displaying advertisements at any leader’s residence. 

Restrictions are put on making announcements or releasing tenders, projects, or funds.

During the implementation of the Model Code of Conduct, the issuance of new ration cards, arms license, and submission of pension forms are restricted to maintain impartiality.

During elections, the use of government resources is restricted. The use of government vehicles, bungalows, and airplanes is also restricted. 
 

In the Model Code of Conduct, all promotional materials, such as signs on walls are removed. Prior permission is required for conducting rallies and meetings. 

Once the Model Code of Conduct comes into effect, the government is generally restricted from carrying out any transfers or postings until the conclusion of the elections.
