Variations to our original decision
We released two variations to our original broadcasting allocation decision because some parties became ineligible to receive an allocation.
20 August 2014 variation
Our first variation reallocated time and money from parties who became ineligible because they failed to meet the deadline for registering their party (14 August 2014). The following parties did not register by the deadline:
- The Expatriate Party of New Zealand
- Truth, Freedom, Justice.
29 August 2014 variation
Our second variation reallocated time and money from The Alliance because they did not submit their party list by the deadline (26 August 2014).
