The Election Commission has issued important instructions regarding the change of election symbols. The Commission has directed the Returning Officers and District Returning Officers to avoid changing election symbols, if necessary, take prior permission.
The ECP added that the printing of the ballot papers has already started so the marks may not be changed.
It should be noted that the candidates of several political parties, including Tehreek-e-Insaf, had raised objections to the election symbols allotted by the ECP.
