Political parties facing deregistration must disclose their electoral spending and donations received to the Electoral Commission, and must repay public funding received if they fail to comply within 30 days.

Political parties can formally withdraw endorsement of a candidate before the nomination deadline; the candidate gets their deposit returned and is removed from any group voting ticket.

Electoral material (advertisements, leaflets, pamphlets, posters, and material produced by parties, candidates, associated entities and donors) must carry the name and address of the person who authorised it.

The Electoral Commission can open alternative voting centres if an election day voting centre cannot open or operate safely due to an event such as a natural disaster or emergency.

The Electoral Commission must proactively remove a silent elector's address from all previously published documents it still controls, not just from future electoral rolls.

New formal statutory procedures govern failed elections (where no candidate is declared elected) and voided elections, including timelines for issuing writs for supplementary elections and re-elections.

Party logos must now be registered with the Electoral Commission and cannot be deceptively similar to the logos of established parties (those registered at any time in the previous 10 years).

Early voting can begin from the Wednesday 10 days before election day, rather than the Monday after nomination day, giving voters more time to cast an early vote.
