Explanation:
An electoral symbol is a standardised symbol allocated to a political party. They can be easily identified, understood, acknowledged and recognised by the voters. The Election Commission has stopped allotting animals as symbols. The only exceptions are the lion and the elephant.
A nationally recognized party has a standard symbol throughout the country, and that symbol will not be allotted to any other party or individual by the Election commission.
State parties are allocated certain symbols that no other party can use the symbol in that particular state. Different parties from different states can use the same symbol.
Example:
Shiv Sena in Maharashtra and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha in Jharkhand both use bow and arrow as their symbol.
The number of recognised parties keeps on changing on the basis of their performance in the general elections.
