The Federal HEMP Party is on notice from the
Australian Electoral Commission
to confirm our membership exists!

The Federal Hemp Party, which would like to be in the Election later this year, is under siege from the bureaucrats. They are phoning and writing to members seeking confirmation of membership. Don’t be paranoid, just confirm.

We’d love new members too. You must be registered in Oz and fill out the form exactly the same as your current electoral details. The form can be downloaded here, and photocopied or printed for friends to join. Post Completed Forms to the HEMP Party Secretary, G Askey (see below for contact details ) No Joining Fee required.

We want to keep Cannabis Law Reform on the Australian political agenda. Your membership can help.

* If you are already a HEMP Party member, and your electoral roll details are not up to date, please update your electoral enrollment, so your membership can be confirmed easilyby the Electoral Commission.
Form available at Post Offices *

Last Federal Election HEMP Senate candidates got 35,526 first preference votes in NSW, ensuring Green candidate, Kerry Nettle, joined Bob Brown in Canberra.

There isn't much time!!!

The AEC sent out letters seeking the confirmation of the HEMP membership to twenty members selected at random, a sampling method in accordance with the Electoral Act.

They expect 100% confirmation.

12 out of 20 responded.

The following people have been so far unable to be contacted.

Sharon Wickens
Vanessa Bryant
Aimee Burgess
Lilias Cotterell
Peter John Mathers
Miles Oakely
Lisa Simone
Wendy Annette Yates

If you know any of these people please request them to immediately confirm their Electoral enrollment, and HEMP Party enrollment and membership?

(Ever hopeful aren't we?)

The AEC have offered to either take another random sample of twenty looking for 100% response again, or they are willing to attempt to contact the entire membership database of over 1200 individuals to see if we have the requisite 500 valid confirmable members.

We only have till the 19th of this month to update or verify memberships.

After that date the Australian Electoral Commission may begin to contact all registered HEMP Party members seeking confirmation.
