 Political parties rely largely on public funds and receive annual subsidies in proportion to their parliamentary representation. The subsidy is doubled in an election year to provide additional funds for campaigning.

The State provides an annual subsidy to political parties, proportional to their parliamentary representation: [...] The annual subsidy is a fixed proportional share of the State budget; it is doubled when in an election year (Articles 2 and 5, Law No 170/2005).
