WRITTEN QUESTION TO H.M. ATTORNEY GENERAL BY DEPUTY M.R. SCOTT OF ST. BRELADE

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 10th MARCH 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 17th MARCH 2025

Question

"Will H.M. Attorney General advise whether there is any legal restriction on the use of a logo for a political campaign by any group of electoral candidates not registered as a political party or individual electoral candidate and, if so, what is the nature of that legal restriction?"

Answer

The requirements of the Political Parties (Registration) (Jersey) Law 2008, in respect of emblems, only apply to a political party which is registered under (or applying for registration under) that Law, and that Law does not impose an obligation on any person or group of persons to be registered under it. There are otherwise no specific legal restrictions applicable to logos for political campaigns.
