# Part 17 Phasing-in of party registration requirements adopted by Local Government Amendment Act 2000 Part 17 Phasing-in of party registration requirements adopted by [Local Government Amendment Act 2000](/view/html/repealed/current/act-2000-112) Note. Schedule 1\[7\] and \[8\] to the [Local Government Amendment Act 2000](/view/html/repealed/current/act-2000-112) introduced new membership requirements for the registration of local government parties, with effect from 1 June 2002. This Part sets out how those new registration requirements apply to— > (a) parties that had applied to be registered before 1 June 2002 and had not had their applications determined, and > (b) parties that were already registered immediately before 1 June 2002, and > (c) parties that apply for registration during a phasing-in period (between 1 June 2002 and 1 June 2003) and who choose to be registered under the old registration requirements existing before the amendments. This Part also provides for the application of the new requirement that a party that becomes registered after the commencement of the proposed amendments will not be eligible, until 12 months after it is first registered under the new requirements, to have its registered party name or abbreviation placed on ballot-papers or to be treated as a registered party in connection with the nomination of its candidates (see clause 61).
