What Happened
The Election Commission released an updated code of conduct for political parties, candidates, and public office holders.
Legal Point
The enforceability of the code depends on statutory authority, clear notice, and consistent application across candidates and parties.
Why It Matters
Election rules shape the fairness of political competition. Uneven enforcement can become as consequential as the wording of the rule itself.
Current Status / Next Step
Candidates should review spending, speech, public resource, and campaign event restrictions before formal campaign activity expands.
