So, who exactly is a star campaigner?
A celebrity vote seeker in a party election is referred to as a star campaigner. This person could be a politician or a movie star. There is no rule that says who can or cannot be a star campaigner.
They are nominated by the relevant political parties, who specify their constituencies and the length of their status.
How many star campaigners can attend?
Since political parties appoint star campaigners, the Election Commission has issued guidelines called the Model Code of Conduct to govern their election campaigns.
