What are the main requirements for registering a political party?
Hi, thanks for your question.
The main requirements for registering a political party are:
- a party constitution, which is a document that sets out the aims of the party
- at least 1,500 members who are on the electoral roll, or one member in the Australian Parliament.
The Australian Electoral Commission is in charge of political party registration. You can visit their website to learn everything a political party must do in order to be registered in Australia.
