EC Extends Model Code Restrictions to Retired Govt Officials Engaged by States
The Election Commission said Model Code of Conduct restrictions for serving government employees also cover retired officials and others engaged by state and Union territory governments.
The restrictions apply to officials working with government-funded organizations, committees, corporations, and commissions.
Covered individuals must remain politically neutral and avoid election campaigns or canvassing.
The guidance was sent to officials in Goa, Manipur, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, which will hold elections early next year.
