Model Code of Conduct Enforcement 2024

The Election Commission's letter outlines the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct, specifying that regular recruitment through statutory bodies can continue while non-statutory recruitments require prior clearance. It mandates that election-connected officers cannot remain in their home districts or districts where they have served for three years in the last four years. Additionally, certain categories of officers, such as those not directly involved in elections, are exempt from the transfer policy unless political bias is substantiated.

types of election duty and the Commission has no intention of massive
dislocation of state machinery by large scale transfers. Hence, the
aforesaid transfer policy is normally not applicable to the categories of
officers mentioned below:
• (i) Officers posted in the State headquarters of the department concerned.
• (ii) Officers/Officials who are not directly connected with elections like
doctors, engineers, teachers/principals etc. However, if there are specific
complaints of political bias or prejudice against any such govt. officer,
which on enquiry, are foundto be substantiated, then CEO/ECI may order
not only the transfer of such official but also appropriate departmental
action against the said officer
