proposed registered abbreviation: | A.F.N.P.P. |
The application is made by the secretary, the treasurer and another member of the party.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you believe that the party should not be registered because, under the Electoral Act:
- the party’s application has not been correctly made; or
- the party’s proposed name or abbreviation is prohibited,
you may lodge an objection. Objections must be received by the AEC by 6 March 2013, must be in writing and include your name, street address, signature and the grounds for your objection. Objections can be sent to:
