A key question in many countries is whether monetary assistance is provided from the State to political parties (public funding). It is argued that such support can help smaller parties make their voice heard, strengthen the capacity of political parties and to level the electoral playing field
Code “REGULARLY” if it is it regulated that political parties are entitled to provision of direct public funding [money] that is provided regularly (normally annually or more often), not specifically related to election campaigns. Code “IN RELATION TO CAMPAIGNS” if it is it regulated that political parties are entitled to provision of direct public funding [money] that is provided specifically related to election campaigns. Code “BOTH” if both of these types of direct public funding are provided. Code “NO” if a list of permitted sources of income of a political party does not include any mention of public funding and no information about public funding can be found. Also code “NO” if a law mentions that public funding “may” or “could” be provided, but then make an external comment explaining this. If you cannot find information, code “ND”.
