Registered political parties
This page is under review following the passage of the Electoral Further Amendment Bill 2026. These new laws address political donation disclosures and political funding, auditing and reporting, including how this information is monitored and regulated by the VEC.
Find information about registered political parties (RPPs), how to register a party, already registered parties, party changes, re-registration and reviews.

Changing details for a registered political party
A registered political party can ask to change its name, logo or registered officer.
We cannot register:
- a name that has been used by a registered party in the past 10 years
- a name that resembles a name of a party in use in the past 10 years
- a name or logo that suggests a connection or relationship between the party and another party that has been registered in the past 10 years.
The deadline to apply to change a party’s name or logo for the 2026 state election is Monday 1 June 2026.
Parties must contact us at rppregistration@vec.vic.gov.au for more information.
