WA Socialist Alliance seeks registration

BY JANE ARMANASCO

PERTH — After successful state registration campaigns in NSW and Tasmania, the Western Australia Socialist Alliance has begun the task of acquiring state electoral registration.

In WA, changes to the electoral registration laws in 2000 mean that a political party needs 500 enrolled members to become registered and thus have its party name on the ballot paper next to its candidates. The State Electoral Commission also requires that letters of confirmation are returned from members before the registration process can continue.

“Meeting these requirements will be difficult, but we think it is achievable”, WA Socialist Alliance co-convenor Nikki Ulasowski told Green Left Weekly. “We are appealing to all Socialist Alliance members and supporters to assist with this registration campaign to ensure it is successful.

“We are asking all those people who support the democratic right of parties to put forward candidates in elections to help with the campaign.”

If you can help with the Socialist Alliance registration campaign in WA, or if you know of any other people who could help in the state, phone Nikki on (08) 9218 9608 or email <perth@socialist-alliance.org>.
