Mysore/Mysuru: Deputy Commissioner Dr. K.V. Rajendra, who is also the District Electoral Officer, has announced that with the Model Code of Conduct in effect for the May 10 Assembly polls, candidates and political parties are required to obtain prior permission (pre-certification) before releasing campaign advertisements on electronic and social media.
The move has come after the Supreme Court made it mandatory for political parties to take prior approval from the Media Certification and Monitoring Committee (MCMC) formed at the District and State levels as per Article 142 of the Constitution.
