Overview - Registered political parties

If a political party wishes to nominate candidates for an election, the political party must be registered with the ECQ. Registered political parties must meet specific eligibility criteria and maintain compliance with all legislated obligations under the Electoral Act 1992.

For the purposes of state campaign bank accounts, expenditure caps, and political donation caps, an associated entity is considered part of the registered political party they are associated with. More information can be found on the Associated entities page.
