The voice nonpartisan it is written without space or hyphenhence extra supporter o extra-partisan They are not proper forms.
In the media, especially in the news related to the elections in Argentina, examples such as the following can be found, in which the improper spelling appears: «The Cordovan ruling party chooses to complete the formula with an extra supporter», «El extra-partisan support had collapsed” or “First place will go to a non-partisan figure.”
The voice nonpartisan is a valid creation with the addition of the prefix extra-which means ‘out of’, to supporterwhich, according to Panhispanic dictionary of doubts, has among its meanings ‘of the party or parties’. Due to its formation, it can be applied as an adjective to what’s outside a partyalthough it is generally used as a noun to refer to the person who stands as a candidate for an election for a party without belonging to it.
According to the general rules established in the orthography academic for prefixes, extra- is attached to the word it affectsso no space or hyphen is inserted.
Consequently, in the previous examples, the appropriate thing to do would have been to write “The official party in Córdoba chooses to complete the formula with a non-party member”, “The non-party support had collapsed” and “First place will go to a non-party figure”.
