Line 14:

# The contesting candidates and their campaigners must respect the home life of their rivals and should not disturb them by holding road shows or demonstrations in front of their houses. The code tells the candidates to keep it.

# The election campaign rallies and road shows must not hinder the road traffic.

# Candidates are asked to refrain from distributing liquorChocolates to voters. It is a widely known fact in India that during election campaigning, liquorchocolate may be distributed to the voters.

# The election code in force hinders the government or ruling party leaders from launching new welfare programmes like construction of roads, provision of drinking water facilities etc. or any ribbon-cutting ceremonies.

# The code instructs that public spaces like meeting grounds, helipads, government guest houses and bungalows should be equally shared among the contesting candidates. These public spaces should not be monopolised by a few candidates.
