List of political parties in India

Indiahas amulti-party system.TheElection Commission of India(ECI) grants recognition to national-level and state-level political parties based on objective criteria. A recognised political party enjoys privileges such as a reserved party symbol,[a]free broadcast time on state-run television and radio, consultation in the setting of election dates, and giving input in setting electoral rules and regulations. Other political parties wishing to contest local, state, or national elections must be registered with the ECI. Registered parties can be upgraded to recognized national or state parties by the ECI if they meet the relevant criteria after aLok Sabhaorstate legislative assemblyelection. The ECI periodically reviews the recognized party status.

Before the amendment in 2016 (which came into force on 1 January 2014), if a political party failed to fulfill the criteria in the subsequent Lok Sabha or state legislative assembly election, it would lose its status as a recognized party. In 2016, the ECI announced that a review would take place after two consecutive elections instead of after every election. Therefore, a political party will retain its recognized party status even if it does not meet the criteria in the next election. However, if it fails to meet the criteria in the election following the next one, it would lose its status.

As per latest publications dated 23 March 2024 from Election Commission of India, and subsequent notifications, there are 6 national parties,[1]58 state parties,[2][b]and 2,763 unrecognised parties.[7]All registered parties contesting elections need to choose a symbol from a list of available symbols offered by the EC. All 28 states of the country along with theunion territoriesofJammu and Kashmir,National Capital Territory of Delhi,andPuducherryhave elected governments unlessPresident's ruleis imposed under certain condition.
