List of political parties in Surrow
Registered parties
According to the Elections Act, registered parties are political parties who are registered with the Surrowese Electoral Authority. In order to be registered as a political party with the Surrowese Electoral Authority, a political party must:
- Have signatures of at least five hundred (500) voters across Surrow with a minimum of sixty (60) voters living in at least seven (7) constituencies, and
- Have nominated at least three (3) candidates across Surrow to Surrow, with at least one (1) candidate living outside the county or district where the party is headquartered, or
- Have held a seat in Parliament immediately prior to dissolution of parliament, regardless of whether it has met the above requirements, or
- Has been in existence prior to the passage of the act, regardless of whether it met any of the above requirements
If the criteria is met, the Surrowese Electoral Authority will register the party unless the name of the party is "liable to cause confusion" among voters.
Official parties are entitled to have candidates display their party affiliation on the ballot, to incur expenses, receive and ask for contributions, to field candidates for national elections, and to be reimbursed for electoral expenses.
