Registration of a substitute logo is needed for the logo to appear on a voting paper.
Registration of a party logo may be refused if the logo is indecent, offensive, likely to cause confusion or mislead electors, or contains any reference to a title or honour or similar form of identification or infringes an intellectual property right.
Anyone who wishes to comment on the logos may do so in writing to the Electoral Commission at:
- PO Box 3220, Wellington 6140
- email enquiries@elections.govt.nz
The deadline for comments is 5pm, 24 July 2020.
