175LC Registered political party opting in and out of receiving higher reimbursement amount
A registered officer of a registered political party may, within the period of 28 days beginning on the day after the day on which the party is given written notice of the party’s registration under section 62H(5)(a), lodge a request (a party opt‑in request) in writing to the Electoral Commissioner to receive the higher reimbursement amount under this Division.
After a party opt‑in request for a registered political party has been lodged under subsection (1), a registered officer of the party may lodge a request in writing with the Electoral Commissioner to withdraw the party opt‑in request.
If a party opt‑in request for a registered political party is withdrawn under subsection (2) and the party endorses at least 1 candidate in a subsequent election, a registered officer of the party may lodge another party opt‑in request within the period of 10 days beginning on the day on which the writ for the election is issued.
