We will conduct an initial check that your application contains the required information and documents and that your fee has been paid.
If we identify any initial issues with your application, we may put it on hold for a reasonable period of time and contact you in order for you to consider the matters we have raised and make changes to your application if necessary.
You should note that ultimately it is your responsibility to determine the details of your application and to ensure that your application complies with the requirements of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA). Until a final decision is taken on your application, we cannot confirm whether it will be successful.
Any changes to your application may need to be authorised by all of the party officers.
If we do not hear from you by the advised deadline your application may be refused.
Once all of the required information and documents are included, we will formally acknowledge the application. The next stage of the application process will then begin.
