What does the Election Commission monitor during elections?

Correct answer: Compliance with election rules and the Model Code of Conduct

Direct answer: B is correct. During an election, the Election Commission supervises the conduct of political parties, candidates, election officials, and other participants. It monitors whether election rules and the Model Code of Conduct are being followed. Such monitoring helps limit practices that can make competition unfair, such as bribery, intimidation, inflammatory appeals, or misuse of official resources. A: Wrong, because weather may affect arrangements, but monitoring weather is not the constitutional election duty asked here. B: Correct, because compliance with rules and the Model Code supports a level and fair contest. C: Wrong, because school fees belong to education administration, not election supervision. D: Wrong, because sports competitions are unrelated to election conduct. Memory cue: “The Commission checks conduct, not classrooms or sports.”
