Model Code of Conduct (MCC)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

A set of guidelines framed by the Election Commission to regulate political parties and candidates during elections. It mandates respect for opponents, avoidance of hate speech, no misuse of official machinery, and fair campaigning. Though not legally binding, MCC violations can lead to censure or even criminal cases under other laws. The MCC fosters level playing fields by restricting government announcements of new schemes, transfers of officials, or the use of public funds for campaigning. Critics claim limited enforceability, but its moral authority shapes election discourse and prevents blatant misuse of power in the run-up to polls.
