Federal
Political parties, in the sense that the term is currently understood, did not exist for most of the history of the Kiravian Republic.

It was only in the [DECADES] that something resembling political parties developed in the major proto-industrial cities of the eastern and northern seaboards. As such, the constitutions of the Confederate Republics of Kirav and the First Federation did not make any reference to or provisions for political parties.

Political Finance Commission
The Political Finance Commission (Ostrakrótakrāstakirstuv) is the public body charged with enforcing federal campaign finance laws and by extension is the main agency responsible for enforcement of federal anti-partisan laws. The PFC monitors the registration of various classes of political organisations and their interactions with one another to ensure compliance with federal law.

Subject-level
Parties have been completely banned from the political process of the devolved government of the District of Coīnvra since 21186 under Order No.47.

Strict nonpartisanism is particularly common in the Western Kirav, particularly the Western Highlands. Many low-population federal subjects such as the Line Captaincy Islands operate on a nonpartisan basis in the absence of any legal mandate.
