If a party is no longer active, they can be retired. This means that they cannot have roles or authorities, but you can still view their record in the Parties module. By default, retired parties are not listed. If you want to show retired parties in search results, select the Include Retired checkbox in the search tool. Retired parties are highlighted in red and are marked as "(Retired)".
To include retired parties in your search results, select the Include Retired checkbox in the Party Find tool.
