The EC said its existing instructions, regarding enforcement of MCC during by-elections to parliamentary and assembly seats, provide that the applicability of the poll code will be to the district concerned, comprising the poll-going constituency. In a separate statement, the EC said that in case, the constituency is comprised in a state capital or metropolitan city or corporation, then model code instructions would be applicable in the area of the constituency concerned only.
