Nepal Election 2026: New Rules Limit Party Flags and Campaign Materials for Fair Polls

Big news from the Election Commission Nepal as they prepare for the House of Representatives election 2026. They have proposed new Election Rules and a code of conduct to stop too much mess and noise during political campaigns in Nepal elections.

The main goal is to make election campaigns more peaceful, clean, and fair. No more excessive party flags everywhere or loud campaign materials. This will help reduce noise pollution, visual mess, and focus on real issues in Nepal politics.

Limits on Party Flags and Symbols

• Political parties and candidates can use only a maximum of 10 flags in activities like mass meetings, rallies, corner meetings, and Door-to-Door Campaigns.
• At party offices or candidate offices, only one party flag and one election symbol (size 3-4 feet) is allowed.
• No big displays like digital boards, flex banners, glow signboards, audio systems, or audiovisual displays for election publicity.

This rule stops the overuse of party flags that we see in every Nepal election.

Restrictions on Banners and Other Materials

• Only one banner or flex with the party name, candidate name, and election symbol is permitted.
• No musical bands, processions, or decorative floats during campaign activities.
• No arches or decorative structures made from party flags or election symbols in public places.
• Wall writing is completely banned.

These campaign restrictions aim to keep streets clean during election period in Nepal.

Rules for Door-to-Door Campaigns

• In door-to-door outreach, the group cannot have more than 25 people. This includes the candidate, proposer, and supporters.

This helps prevent big crowds and disorder in local elections style campaigns.

Bans on Electronic and Public Campaigning

• No election campaigning through websites (except one official site), television scrolling, shopping mall displays, call centers, bank ATMs, counters, or street dramas.
• No vehicle rallies using cars, motorcycles, bicycles, rickshaws, carts, or animal-drawn vehicles.

These new election laws will control modern digital campaigning and traditional methods.

Why These New Election Rules?

The Election Commission Nepal says these changes will ensure a clean election, peaceful election, dignified election, and fair election. By limiting visual clutter, noise pollution, and aggressive political campaigning, they want issue-based campaigns and better public order.

This is great for voters in Nepal and will build trust in democratic process ahead of the 2026 Nepal election.
