Under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA), you must provide certain details as part of your application to register a political party. This includes:
The party’s headquarters (or correspondence address)
Whether you do not wish to field candidates at UK Parliamentary general elections – this will impact on which financial returns you may have to submit to the Commission ahead of those elections.
You must provide your party’s headquarters address. If you do not have a party headquarters, you must provide an address where the party can receive correspondence. This must be a physical address, and not an email address.
It is important to note that this address will be available on our public register. You should avoid using any home addresses if you do not want them to be publicly available. You may therefore wish to consider using a PO Box address instead of a home address.
You should also provide the Commission with your email address and a contact number to enable us to be able to contact with you about important information about your application and in future about important statutory deadlines.
Making changes
If later your party is registered and wishes to change any of its registered details, you can make an application to amend your register entry at any time.
