An emblem is an optional visual representation (or logo) of a party. Along with other identity marks, an emblem can help voters identify the party on ballot papers. Parties are able to register up to three emblems.
In order for the party or your candidate to use an emblem on a ballot paper, the party must register it with Electoral Commission.
You do not need to register an emblem if you only wish to use it on campaign material and not on ballot papers.
An emblem is intended to primarily comprise a pictorial or symbolic representation, and so must include this element. It may contain some text. If it comprises mostly of text then it is unlikely that we will register it as an emblem.
An emblem that contains text which cannot be read at the size emblems appear on ballot papers (2cm square) is also highly likely to be refused. We suggest that any text in an emblem is at least 1.2mm in height.
