The Election Commission has allowed registered unrecognised political parties to have a common symbol as a one-time offer during general elections either to Lok Sabha or to a State Assembly, subject to certain conditions.The Election Commission said in a release that the decision was taken through an amendment in the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968. The concession comes in the wake of requests by many political parties, which had also moved the Supreme Court, seeking a direction to the Election Commission to consider making appropriate modifications in the Symbol Order.
