Review of party emblems

The Commission's registration team recently undertook a review of party emblems, to ensure that all registered emblems continue to meet our contemporary requirements on text size. As part of this review, affected parties were given the opportunity to submit a substantively identical emblem with larger text to replace any emblem removed. Emblems that met these conditions were registered as like-for-like replacements, outside of our normal assessment process. These emblems now appear on the parties' register entries and in the emblem zip as normal, but note they will not appear in our final decisions log.

The following parties submitted emblems which were registered as like-for-like replacements:

  • Alliance for Green Socialism
  • Animal Welfare Party (GB & NI)
  • Ashford Independent
  • Chesterfield And North Derbyshire Independents (CANDI)
  • Chislehurst Matters
  • Communities United Party
  • Derwentside Independents
  • Elm Park Residents' Association
  • English Democrats
  • Harold Wood Hill Park Residents Association
  • Independence for Scotland Party
  • Independent Oxford Alliance
  • Independent Sovereign Democratic Britain
  • Life
  • National Liberal Party – True Liberalism
  • New Open Non-Political Organised Leadership
  • Old Windsor Residents Association
  • Runnymede Independent Residents' Group
  • Shiromani Akali Dal Amritsar UK
  • The Christian Party "Proclaiming Christ's Lordship"
  • The Walton Society
  • Thornaby Independent Association
  • Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition
  • Wickford Independents
