The Parliamentary Elections Act of Sri Lanka provides that recognised political parties which polled at least 1% of the total number of valid votes at the previous General Election are entitled to direct public funding in the form of state grants during Parliamentary elections. An eligible party receives a grant calculated at fifty cents per vote scored by that particular party in that district, during the previous Parliamentary election.
