Notification of party endorsement
169 Notification of party endorsement
The registered officer of a registered political party may request that the name, or the registered abbreviation of the name, of that party be printed on the ballot papers for an election adjacent to the name of a candidate who has been endorsed by that party.
A request under subsection (1) must be:
in writing; and
signed by the person making the request; and
given to the Electoral Commissioner with the nomination of the candidate.
Where:
a request has been made under subsection (1) in respect of candidates in a Senate election; and
the candidates have made a request under section 168 that their names be grouped in the ballot papers for the election;
the request under subsection (1) may include a further request that the name of the registered political party that endorsed the candidates, or a composite name formed from the registered names of the registered political parties that endorsed the candidates, be printed on the ballot papers adjacent to the square printed above the line in relation to the group.
In this section, registered abbreviation, in relation to the name of a registered political party, has the same meaning as in section 210A.
