Having two branches in the same if structure with the same implementation is at best duplicate code, and at worst a coding error. If the same logic is truly needed for both instances, then they should be combined.

Noncompliant Code Example

if 0 <= a < 10:
    do_first()
    do_second()
elif 10 <= a < 20:
    do_the_other_thing()
elif 20 <= a < 50:
    do_first()         # Noncompliant; duplicates first condition
    do_second()

Exceptions

Blocks in an if chain that contain a single line of code are ignored.

if 0 <= a < 10:
    do_first()
elif 10 <= a < 20:
    do_the_other_thing()
elif 20 <= a < 50:
    do_first()         # no issue, usually this is done on purpose to increase the readability

But this exception does not apply to if chains without else-s when all branches have the same single line of code. In case of if chains with else-s rule {rule:python:S3923} raises a bug.

if 0 <= a < 10:
    do_first()
elif 20 <= a < 50:
    do_first()         # Noncompliant, this might have been done on purpose but probably not
