And whereas, since the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is in effect in Puducherry, it is now mandatory for all Political Parties as well as for the Independent Candidates contesting in the upcoming elections to follow the MCC in letter and spirit till the election process is over.

And whereas, consequent upon the enforcement of the MCC, prior permission from concerned authority becomes mandatory for organizing public political meetings/campaigns/electioneering/rallies/agitations/ demonstrations by Political Parties, Independent Candidates, Unions, etc., in order to maintain law and order decorum and ensure smooth conduct of elections.
