Electoral Act 1992

This section applies to a political party that, on the commencement of this section, is a registered political party.

The party’s registered officer must, within 6 months after the commencement, give the commission a copy of the party’s constitution, which must be a complying constitution.

Despite the commencement of part 9, part 9 does not apply to the party until subsection (2) has been complied with.

If the registered officer does not comply with subsection (2), the commission must cancel the registration of the party by—

cancelling the information in, and removing the documents from, the register of political parties relating to the party; and

giving notice of the cancellation and the reasons for it to the person who was the party’s registered officer immediately before the cancellation; and

giving notice of the cancellation in the gazette; and

keeping the documents in the commission’s records.
