If public funding is provided, a key question becomes which political parties that should be entitled to receive such funds
If you code “NO” on Q22, code “NA” on this question. If you code “ND” on Q19, code “ND”. Give the basis used to establish eligibility for political parties to access direct funding (or “who has the right to receive”). Code all options that apply, provide details in an external comment. If the eligibility criteria is that a political party must have representation in an elected body, code “REPRESENTATION IN ELECTED BODY”. If the eligibility is that a party must have won a certain share of votes in the preceding election, code ”SHARE OF VOTES IN PREVIOUS ELECTION” including the percentage that is required. If the eligibility is that a party must win a certain share of votes in the next election, code ”SHARE OF VOTES IN NEXT ELECTION” including the percentage that is required (this is sometimes used when public funding is provided after an election). If the eligibility is based on a certain number of seats or “representation” that each party holds or won in the preceding election, code SHARE OF SEATS IN PREVIOUS ELECTION” including the percentage that is required. If the eligibility is based on a certain number of seats or “representation” that each party wins in the next election, code SHARE OF SEATS IN NEXT ELECTION” including the percentage that is required (this is sometimes used when public funding is provided after an election). If eligibility is established by the number of candidates presented by the party (in the preceding or forthcoming election) code “NO. OF CANDIDATES”, noting the number of candidates needed. Also use this code if eligibility is based on a political party is required to present candidates in a certain number of districts etc. If eligibility is established by the number of members of the party, code “NUMBER OF MEMBERS”, noting the number of members needed. If political parties are only eligible to receive public funding if they have submitted financial reports, code “SUBMITTED FINANCIAL REPORT(S)”, and give details in an external comment.
