-In February and March 2025, the Legislative Assembly eliminated public financing for parties through a reform of the Constitution and the Political Parties Act.
In the reform, Article 210 of the Constitution was completely removed.
-El Salvador had a mixed financing system until February 2025.
Despite the elimination of public funding, the Political Parties Act still contains provisions that refer to such funding.
