Question Presented: Whether prohibiting elementary and secondary schoolteachers from establishing and joining political parties unreasonably infringes on their right to freedom of association. Whether the ban on elementary and secondary schoolteachers creating or being members of “other political organizations” as stated in Article 65(1) of the State Public Officials Act is clear and meets the balancing test set up by the court to justify a restriction on political rights.

Judgment

Question Presented: (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?
