A party that wishes to register its denomination shall give written notice of this to the Central Election Authority. If notification is made no later than by the last day of February in the year when elections are to be held, the registration applies up to and including that election.

If the matter relates to another kind of election than a general election to the Riksdag, a general election to municipal and county council assemblies or an election to the European Parliament, notification shall instead be given no later than one week after the decision on the election day having been notified for the registration to apply from and including the election.
