Each applicant for N.D.P. membership signs a statement that "he accepts and will abide by the Democratic principles pro- gram and constitution of the party and that he is not a member or supporter of any other political party."

Provincial Council which is the Ontario N.D.P.'s top governing body between conventions has final authority on rejection or accepting membership applications.
