The by-elections have been necessitated due to the disqualification of the 14 Congress and 3 Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) rebel legislators after they resigned from their respective assembly seats in July.
The Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for the 15 by-elections in Karnataka on December 5 will be re-enforced from Monday, a senior poll official said.
"As per the amended schedule for the bye-elections in 15 assembly segments across the state on December 5, the MCC will come into force from November 11 in the districts in which they will be held," state chief electoral officer Sanjiv Kumar said in a statement in Bengaluru on Sunday.
The by-elections have been necessitated due to the disqualification of the 14 Congress and 3 Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) rebel legislators after they resigned from their respective assembly seats in July in protest against the former coalition government's functioning.
