II. Comments on the text of the draft law


E. Financing of elections


Article 50(10) calls on the banking institution to return to the party any unused funds based on a request from the party. On the other hand, any unused funds in the account of a single mandate candidate shall be transferred to the state budget. There appears to be no logical reason for the different treatment of party’s unused funds and those of a single mandate candidate and consideration should be given to ending this discriminatory practice.
