                                Judgment
                                (1) Whether an unregistered party is considered a “non-contesting party” and is thus prohibited from forming a coalition with registered parties or independent groups in Parliament. (2) Whether the party registration requirement under the Political Party law to prove a certain number of registered voters support the formation of a party interferes with the voluntary nature of political parties and is a violation of the constitutional rights to freedom of association and assembly?

                                                    1) Did the Supreme Court's decision in McConnell resolve all constitutional as-applied challenges to the BCRA when it upheld the disclosure requirements of the statute as constitutional? 2) Do the BCRA's disclosure requirements impose an unconstitutional burden when applied to electioneering requirements because they are protected "political speech" and not subject to regulation as "campaign speech"? 3) If a communication lacks a clear plea to vote for or against a particular candidate, is it subject to regulation under the BCRA? 4) Should a feature length documentary about a candidate for political office be treated like the advertisements at issue in McConnell and therefore be subject to regulation under the BCRA?
