Party registration handbook

Democracy is only possible if people and parties are prepared to put themselves forward for the chance to represent their community. The party registration handbook is designed to provide you with everything you will want to know about how to register a political party and logo. It also provides information about the registration process and key dates during an election year.

Proposed changes to party registration processes and deadlines, in the Electoral Amendment Bill 2025, are signposted in the handbook.
