The Flux Party – ACT has been removed from the ACT’s register of political parties, ACT Electoral Commissioner, Mr Damian Cantwell AM CSC, announced today, 16 February 2021.

The party’s registration has been cancelled in accordance with section 98(3) of the Electoral Act 1992, which stipulates that the Electoral Commissioner must cancel the registration of a registered political party if the party has not endorsed a candidate at the last two general elections.
