(1) Each nominating organisation that puts forward candidates in elections is entitled to budgetary support in proportion to putting forward candidates. Independent candidates are given budgetary support equal to the support received by the candidates of nominating organisations. The amount of funds that can be spent on budgetary support nationally shall be determined by the Parliament.
(2) When determining the support per candidate, the number of candidates in single mandate constituencies, the number of candidates on regional lists split per political parties but maximum the number of candidates identical with the number of obtainable mandates, and the number of candidates actually included in national lists but maximum 58 per party shall be taken into consideration. The person nominated both in a single mandate constituency and on a list, or both on a regional and a national list shall be considered in accordance with the number of nominations.
(3) The allocation of the budgetary support that can be spent on elections will be implemented to nominating organisations in one amount, to independent candidates per person, on the grounds of the decision of the National Election Committee, in 5 days from thereof, by the Ministry of Finance or the financial institution designated by it.
(4) The budgetary support defined in paragraph (1) shall serve to cover only material costs. Nominating organisations and independent candidates shall account for the utilisation of the support in 30 days after the elections at the point of payment.
