Were your Candidates endorsed by a registered Political Party?
The VEC asks all candidates to complete a questionnaire. One of the questions asks if they are endorsed by a registered political party. According to the responses received by VEC, no candidate indicates they are endorsed by a registered political party except
Michael Nugent (Bunurong Ward).
