The Election Commission of India (ECI) has officially lifted the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) that followed the announcement of results for the Legislative Assembly elections in Haryana and the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.
In a directive issued today, the Commission informed the Cabinet Secretary and the Chief Secretaries of both Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir that the MCC is no longer in effect.
“The MCC, which was enforced since the election schedule was announced, remained in place throughout the election process. With the results now declared by the Returning Officers of both regions, the restrictions under the code have been lifted with immediate effect,” stated the ECI order.
