We have a statutory obligation under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act (PPERA) 2000 to maintain a series of registers
The search section in PEF Online introduces a new way of accessing the registers. All of the information previously available on the registers is still available, but using our new interactive search tools will make finding this information easier and analysing the results more versatile.
