# Register a party

> Form a new political group and run for office.

Follow these steps to register a party and compete in global elections.

<Tip>
  Registering a party requires a verified account, the same face check used for voting. If you are not verified yet, the plus icon takes you to verification first — come back afterwards and your registration continues.

  Parties registered before this requirement keep their listing, their [subsidies](/building-blocks/party-subsidies) and their edit rights.
</Tip>
