Subject: [spamcrm.acma.gov.au #47971] Citizens Electoral Council of
    Australia 

Dear Mr Yates

Thank you for your complaint about an email received from the Citizens 
Electoral Council of Australia.

Based on the information you have submitted, ACMA considers that the 
message is most likely a â^À^Ødesignated commercial electronic messageâ^À^Ù, 
as defined in Schedule 1 of the Spam Act 2003. 

For the purposes of the Act, messages sent by government bodies, 
registered political parties, religious organisations, charities and 
educational institutions are â^À^Ødesignated commercial electronic 
messagesâ^À^Ù if they relate to goods or services that the organisation 
supplies. These messages are exempted from some requirements of the 
Act.

The Citizens Electoral Council of Australia is a registered political 
party and, as a result, the message is not likely to be in breach of 
the Act.

If you have any queries about this matter, please contact me by return 
email.

Yours sincerely

Tina Nabb
