Comment

Public funding is not conditional on gender-equality requirements, and there are no financial advantages tied to gender equality. However, if a party fails to comply with the gender quota, its multi-name candidate list can be rejected, and the Central Election Commission (CEC) may refuse to register the party for the elections.
