Question:What are the registration requirements for political parties running for national elections (Chamber 1)?
Answer(s): f. Other
Comments: The authorities now report that on 1 May 2019 the revision of the LPCPP entered into force. In Article 2 para. 1, the establishment of a political party in the form of an association and the requirement for it to register in the Commercial Register are enforced. The amended law gives a legal framework for a uniform procedural treatment of political parties with regard to their financing and increases the transparency of party funding. Registration in the Commercial Register increases legal certainty and transparency. The legal status is verified when a party submits its statutes and extracts from the Commercial Register after the elections to the Landtag (Article 2 para. 4).
