The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) stopped ROs and DROs from changing election symbols of candidates for the upcoming elections.
The ECP told ROs and DROs that at this phase stage with the elections coming near the changing of election symbols should be avoided.
"If the need to change the election symbol is so important then the commission should be asked for a change," the ECP told ROs.
According to the ECP, the printing of the ballot papers has started and it may not be possible at this stage to change the election symbol.
