Electoral Act 1907

If a person (the registered person) is a registered third‑party campaigner in relation to an election, the responsible person for the registered person may, in writing, request the Electoral Commissioner to cancel the registered person’s registration.

The Electoral Commissioner must cancel the registered person’s registration if the Electoral Commissioner is satisfied —

that the registered person is no longer a third‑party campaigner in relation to the election; or

that the electoral expenditure incurred in relation to the election by or with the authority of the registered person will not exceed $500.

If the Electoral Commissioner cancels the registered person’s registration, the Electoral Commissioner must —

give the registered third‑party campaigner a written notice stating —

that the registered third‑party campaigner’s registration is cancelled; and

the day on which the cancellation takes effect;

record the cancellation and the day of cancellation in the third‑party campaigners register.

The day of the cancellation of the registration stated in the notice under subsection (3)(a)(ii) cannot be earlier than the day on which the third‑party campaigner receives the notice.

If the Electoral Commissioner refuses to cancel the registered person’s registration, the Electoral Commissioner must give the registered person a written notice stating —

that the Electoral Commissioner has refused to cancel the registered person’s registration; and

the reasons for the decision.
