Part 4: Regulation of Expenditure Registration of parties etc Section 25: Section 24: transitional provisions
Section 25 sets out a transitional provision to provide for any groups appearing on both registers when the provision in section 24 comes into force during a regulated period. In such a scenario, campaigners are only permitted to spend in one capacity (of their choice) during the regulated period and, following this, would need to either deregister as a political party or allow their third-party notification to lapse. It is an offence (new section 89A and section 79(2) of PPERA) for a party to spend in both capacities post commencement.
