How does the Election Commission recognize the regional party?

The Election Commission lays down the following criterion to recognize the regional
parties:
 The Election Commission declares and decides that which political party stands at
national level or which should stand at regional level.
 The Election Commission has been empowered to see the popularity of the regional
party in a particular region.
 The Election Commission checks the organization and membership of the party.
 The Election Commission looks after either the regional party works under the code
of conduct or not as assigned by the Election Commission.
