Friday 31 July 2026
For immediate release
The Australian Citizens Party (Victorian Division) is now registered as a political party in Victoria.
The party applied for registration on 4 February 2026. As required by section 49 of the Electoral Act 2002, the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) advertised the application and invited objections.
To be registered, a party must meet legislative requirements, including having at least 500 members on the electoral roll. The VEC confirmed this by writing to the members whose names were provided by the Australian Citizens Party (Victorian Division).
As a registered political party, the Australian Citizens Party (Victorian Division):
- will have its name printed on state election ballot papers next to the names of the party's endorsed candidates
- can nominate all its candidates and register its how-to-vote card centrally with the VEC, rather than individually with election managers
- may be eligible for public funding
- is entitled to access enrolment information (which it can use for permitted purposes).
