30. What is the allocation calculation for political parties to receive public funding?

Article 30, Organic Law of Georgia on Political Unions of Citizens, 1997.

According to Georgian legislation, the amount of the state funding allocated under the law is composed of the basic funding, and bonuses for each Member of Parliament elected under a proportional electoral system and a component corresponding to the number of votes received by a political party. The following formula exists to receive a state funding: Z=B+(M*600*12)+(L*100*12)+(V*1,5)+(W*1)+(H), where Z means the amount of budgetary funding to be received by a political party; B - the amount of basic funding; M - the number of Members of Parliament equal to 30 or up to 30 elected under a proportional system; L - the number of Members of Parliament above 30 elected under a proportional system; V - the number of votes received from up to 200,000 voters; W - the number of the votes received from more than 200,000 voters; H - a political party, which has been registered by the Georgian Central Election Commission to participate in the recent parliamentary elections and whose members have been elected to the Parliament of Georgia, provided that the given political party creates a parliamentary faction. For the given formula H=GEL 300,000. The minimum amount of the annual basic funding is GEL 300,000. If a political party or an electoral bloc participating in elections independently has received 6% or more of the votes cast in the recent parliamentary or local self-government elections, its basic funding shall be doubled.
