Question
Why is it necessary for every political party to have an election symbol?
Advertisements
Solution
- Political parties are assigned election symbols by the Election Commission.
- Election symbols assist voters in identifying a party and simplify the voting process for a sizable illiterate population.
- Every political party has its own symbol, which helps to avoid voter confusion.
- The election symbol represents a particular party’s values and ideology; for example, the BJP’s saffron lotus represents its cultural nationalism. As a result, each political party must have an election symbol.
