Angry Victorians Party deregistered after review by the Victorian Electoral Commission
Thursday 21 December 2023
For immediate release
The Angry Victorians Party has failed to provide up-to-date information and documents requested in a review conducted by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) and was removed today from the list of registered political parties in Victoria. This means that a party with the same or a similar name cannot register as a political party until after the next state election in 2026.
The VEC is reviewing the registration of all political parties that received an average of less than 4% of first preference votes over all electorates they contested at the 2022 State election.
Even though the party is not registered, it can still participate at an election, but will not be able to:
- have its name and logo next to its candidates’ names or group on the ballot papers
- submit candidate nominations or how-to-vote cards in bulk with the VEC
- access enrolment information for permitted purposes.
