Such a scheme is being introduced to curb the misuse of the flag.
The office of the party or election candidate can place a flag prepared with fabric (3 x 4 feet) or have a signboard of the same size. The political parties are not allowed to use digital boards, flex, or glue signboards, and audiovisual materials as the flag.
The proposed code of conduct has further reminded the political parties not to visit the voters' doorstep in a group of over 25 persons.
The election campaigning will be further deterred using musical bands and pageants.
