a)If the political party is not a parliamentary party (that is, it does not have a member of the party as a member in federal parliament), it must have at least 500 members who are entitled to enrolment on the Commonwealth Electoral roll.
Registration is not compulsory. A party can still participate in the electoral process, but does not qualify for the rights and entitlements that registration confers. If the party has not registered for the elections, the name of the party will not be put on the ballot paper, only the names of the candidates.
(f)Be established on the basis of a written constitution; and have as one of its objects or activities to endorse candidates to contest elections for the House of Representatives or Senate.

For a party to be a registered party that can nominate candidates in elections for public offices, it should have constituency-parties which have to, at the same time, be distributed among more than 5 Shi/Dos (regional level). When a registered party nominates candidates for proportional representative National Assembly members, it has to deposit 15.000.000 Won, or approximately 12.000 USD per candidate. The number of seats reserved for proportional representation is 46, which is the maximum number of candidates a registered political party can nominate in the general election for the National Assembly. An individual who wants to be an independent candidate in a constituency has to collect more than 300 but less than 500 signatures of voters who are registered in the constituency concerned. Candidates for constituencies, whether they are independent of party-nominated, have to make the same amount of deposit, which have to be paid by the candidates themselves.

No hay partidos políticos que participen en las elecciones.
De acuerdo con la ley, en cada municipio se lleva a cabo una asamblea en que los ciudadanos proponen a precandidatos para que compitan en las elecciones. Esas listas son entonces revisadas y aprobadas por las respectivas Comisiones de Candidaturas, que se integran por representantes de la Central de Trabajadores de Cuba, de los Comités de Defensa de la Revolución, de la Federación de Mujeres Cubanas, de la Asociación Nacional de Agricultores Pequeños, de la Federación Estudiantil Universitaria y de la Federación de Estudiantes de la Enseñanza Media, designados por las direcciones nacionales, provinciales y municipales respectivas, a solicitud de las Comisiones Electorales Nacional, Provinciales y Municipales.
Así, hasta un cincuenta (50) por ciento del total de candidatos a Delegados a la Asamblea Provincial y de candidatos a Diputados a la Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular podrán seleccionarse de entre los Delegados a la Asamblea Municipal del Poder Popular.

Thus the term national level and elections does not mean national elections in the People's Republic of China but the elections in Hong Kong.

In India, only candidates contest elections. However, some of these candidates are set-up and sponsored by political parties. There is no spearate registration of political parties for contesting an election. Registration of political parties is done by the Election Commission (section 29 A of Representation Act 1951) when certain simple requirements, such as contribution of the party, name, and registered office of the party etc. are met.
More important is the 'recognition' of political parties either as 'national party' or 'state party', which depends upon geographical spread of the party and a certain percentage of votes obtained in the last preceding general election. Candidates set up by recognised parties get preferential treatment in the allocation of election symbol reserved for such party.

The French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion) elects candidates to the French Senate and House of Representatives. The overseas departments follow the same rules as the metropole regarding the organization of the elections. They do however enjoy certain specificities concerning electoral expenditure : certain travel expenses of the candidates are not taken into account in the ceiling of candidates' election expenses (article L.52-12 of the electoral code). Besides, the French Parliament is discussing a bill which would allow elections to be held on Saturday in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana (because of the time lag, people from these departments knew the results of the elections in the metropole before they voted).

The French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion) elects candidates to the French Senate and House of Representatives. The overseas departments follow the same rules as the metropole regarding the organization of the elections. They do however enjoy certain specificities concerning electoral expenditure : certain travel expenses of the candidates are not taken into account in the ceiling of candidates' election expenses (article L.52-12 of the electoral code). Besides, the French Parliament is discussing a bill which would allow elections to be held on Saturday in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana (because of the time lag, people from these departments knew the results of the elections in the metropole before they voted).

A political party does not have to be registered to take part in an election. There is no party registration requirement in Sweden, but there is a voluntary possibility to register the party denomination to protect the name from improper use. The application to have a denomination registered is submitted to the Swedish Election Authority and must contain a name consisting of words. The denomination must not be a sub-department of a political association and the application must be seconded by a certain number of persons entitled to vote; 1500 for Riksdag elections, 100 for county council assembly elections and 50 for municipal assembly elections. Furthermore, the denomination cannot be assumed to be confused with any other previously registered name, or the denomination cannot be mistaken for a name which has been removed from the register not more than five years ago due to a change of denominations.
