I could have made it much more difficult to register:
"A political party that wishes to participate in a general election may apply to register with the Chief Electoral Officer. The application for registration must be signed by the party leader and must include:
the full name of the political party
either the party's short-form name or the abbreviation of the party's name, if any, which will appear on election documents such as the ballot
the party's logo, if any
the name and address of the party's leader, and a copy of the party's resolution to appoint its leader that is certified by the leader and another officer of the party
the address of the party's office where records are kept and to which communications may be addressed
the names and addresses of the party's officers and their signed consent to act (minimum of three officers)
the name and address of the party's auditor and the auditor's signed consent to act as auditor
the name and address of the party's chief agent and his or her signed consent to act as chief agent
the names, addresses and signatures of (pick a number) electors and their declarations in the prescribed form that they are members of the party and support the party's application for registration
the leader's declaration in the prescribed form that having considered all the factors relevant to determining the party's purposes, one of the party's fundamental purposes is to participate in public affairs by endorsing one or more of its members as candidates and supporting their election
The entire application, including the names of the members, is a public document. To confirm the accuracy of the leader's declaration about the party's fundamental purposes, the Chief Electoral Officer may ask the leader to provide further relevant information."
An abstract of a "real" electoral registration law.
My legislation was simple but your adopted party's leader chose to ignore it
