Kim Dotcom's Internet Party and its logo have been formally registered by the Electoral Commission, the party confirmed this evening.
"This is a big step for the Internet Party and our members as we look ahead to the election in September,'' chief executive Vikram Kumar said.
"It's a clear signal that we mean what we say and that we're serious about delivering the political change that Kiwis want.''
The party scored a first by gaining approval to sign up members online and reached the required 500 members within a few hours.
"That's testament to how we do things - we're fresh, we're different and we mean business.''
