According to the Election Commission of India, over 6,382 complaints related to model code of conduct (MCC) violations were reported in Maharashtra in the past month. Out of these, all but one have been resolved, according to PTI. Enforcement agencies working under the Election Commission's (EC) directives have also seized cash, liquor, narcotics, and other valuables amounting to more than Rs 536 crore in an effort to prevent inducement of voters as per PTI.

The complaints were lodged through the Election Commission’s cVIGIL app, a mobile platform developed specifically to enable citizens to report violations of the MCC during elections, as per PTI. The MCC, which provides a set of guidelines for the conduct of political parties and candidates, came into effect in Maharashtra on October 15, the day the election schedule was announced. Since then, between October 15 and November 14, the app has been used to file a total of 6,382 complaints from various constituencies across the state, according to the office of Maharashtra’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO).
