For parties
A political party is an organisation which seeks to promote a candidate or candidates that it has endorsed for election to the Legislative Assembly.
Registered parties have reporting and disclosure obligations. Parties must submit annual and election returns as well as regular gift disclosures. These returns outline the party's expenditure, funding, receipts and debts.
