Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918

This section applies if:

a logo is, at the declaration time for an election, entered in the Register in relation to a registered political party; and

the party has requested that the logo be used.

If the election is a Senate election, a ballot paper for the election must have the logo printed adjacent to the square that is printed, in accordance with paragraph 214(2)(d), adjacent to the name of the party.

For the purposes of subsection (2), if candidates who have made a request under section 168 are endorsed by more than one political party:

no more than 2 logos may be printed adjacent to the square that is printed, in accordance with paragraph 214(2)(d), adjacent to the names of the parties; and

if more than 2 of those parties have logos entered in the Register—the parties must notify the Electoral Commission, in writing, which of the logos are to be printed adjacent to that square.

If the election is a House of Representatives election, a ballot paper for the election must have the logo printed in accordance with Form F in Schedule 1.

All logos of registered political parties must be printed on the ballot paper in a uniform size and format.
