The Legalise Marijuana party has withdrawn its application to register for the Victorian state election a day before it was due to answer questions about its legitimacy, as several other political parties seek to form a platform on the issue.
The party last month sought registration with the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC), though their application was objected by Legalise Cannabis Victoria, who argued it was an “egregious attempt” to siphon votes away from their existing party.
