70 days to go for voting: EC issues draft code of conduct

The Election Commission has issued a draft of the election code of conduct-2082, seeking feedback. 

The draft code of conduct is prepared for the upcoming March 5 elections to the House of Representatives (HoR). 

The code of conduct drafted as per Section 22 of Election Commission Act, 2073 has aimed at making the elections free, fair and economical.

There are 10 chapters and five schedules in the document. 

Once the code comes into effect, the earlier code of 2079 would be terminated.

Those violating the code of conduct are warned of getting their names public. 

The political parties participating in the elections are required to make public the election manifestos.
