Motivation[edit]
In many places a symbol is allocated to an independent candidate/political party by a country's election commission for use in election ballots. These are used by parties/candidates for campaigning, and printed on ballot papers where a voter must make a mark to vote for the associated party. Some parties are using the logo same as the symbol allotted to them and some parties may have different logos than the symbol. It can be very useful for documenting these information for election related items as well as for the political party items time to time that.-❙❚❚❙❙ GnOeee ❚❙❚❙❙ ✉ 08:50, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
