Electoral Code of Conduct for Political Parties,
Candidates and Election Workers

---

The PEC developed an electoral code of conduct to promote conditions conducive to the conduct of a free and fair election and a climate of democratic tolerance in which political activity could take place during the election period without fear of coercion, intimidation or reprisals. The Code was binding on all political parties and candidates, who had to declare the acceptance of it before being registered by the Provisional Election Commission. It was the responsibility of political parties and candidates to ensure that the Code was strictly observed by all their representatives, campaign workers and active supporters. The electoral code of conduct is outlined below.
