  • Changes to the register of political parties

    Registered political parties often make changes to their party details. The Electoral Act 2002 (Vic) requires us to publish notice of any proposed changes to the register of political parties in the Victoria Government Gazette.

    These changes might be:

    • change of party name
    • change of party logo
    • change of registered officer
    • change of abbreviated name
    • change of registered address

    This is a record of all changes to the register of political parties from 1 January 2019. You can find full details of the changes in the Victoria Government Gazette.

    If you need information from before 2019 please call us on 131 832 or email rppregistration@vec.vic.gov.au.
