PRESS RELEASE Bengaluru, 3 May 2022 The One Vote Project <http://hasgeek.com/onevote> invites you to a discussion on the role of the Model Code of Conduct and its scope for regulating election campaigns in the digital age. The Limitations of the Model Code of Conduct in Regulating Digital Campaigning Date: Saturday, 7 May Time: 4 PM IST Registration for Zoom: https://hasgeek.com/onevote/electiontech/ Youtube Live: https://youtu.be/xOq8Cf4oPzg Electioneering entails delivering campaign messages to the maximum number of voters efficiently and economically. In a country with a population greater than 130 crores, it is a herculean task for political parties and leaders to reach voters with their message. In the light of this magnitude, political players opt for new age media solutions to reach out to their constituents. With an internet user base of more than 45 crores, digital campaigns have become the first choice. Having said that, campaigning in the digital spaces has started throwing challenges to the democracies across the world, including India. In light of the new age electioneering, this talk will discuss the role of the Model Code of Conduct in India, and the gaps that exist in regulating digital spaces. The talk will be delivered by TVS Sasidhar, Assistant Professor at Azim Premji University and will be moderated by Maansi Verma of Article 21 Trust. One Vote is an initiative to examine a diverse set of perspectives regarding the introduction and evolution of technology in elections. One Vote uses a combination of public discourse and deliberations; reports of proceedings; communication and outreach; community building; to build capacity and knowledge among citizens to determine the sufficiency, appropriateness and robustness of technology designs and choices.
