Comment

There is no mention about indirect public funding in the laws.

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.
