India has a multi-party system with a predominance of small regional parties.Political parties that wish to contest local,state or national elections are required to be registered by the Election Commission of India(EC).In order to gain recognition in a state, the party must have had political activity for at least five continues years,and send at least 4%of the state quote to the lok sabha (India's lower house),or 3.33%of member to that state's assembly.
These conduction are deemed to have failed if a member of the lok sabha or the legislative assembly of the state becomes a member of that political party after his election.If a party is recognised in four or more states ,it is declared as a "National Party" by the EC.Otherwise, it is known as a "State Party".
All parties contesting elections have to choose a symbol from a list of available symbols offered by the Election Commission.All 28 states along with the union territory of pondicherry and the National Capital Territory of Delhi usually have an elected goverment unless President's rule is impossed under certain condition.
