The number of candidates in each list is required to be equal to the number of seats in the respective constituency.
Applications for candidacy shall be presented on the basis of the principle of parity between women and men, and the rule of alternately ranking women and men on the list. Unless required to do so by the odd number of seats in a constituency, any list violating this principle will be rejected.
In any constituency where the number of seats is equal to or more than four, every candidate list should have among the first four candidates a male or female candidate of no more than thirty five years of age. In case of non-adherence to this requirement, the list will be denied half the total value of the public funding grant.

Pregunta Do political parties receive direct/indirect public funding?
Respuestas

A full refund of the grant is mandatory for any candidate that gets less than 3% of valid votes on the national level, or any list that gets less than 3% of valid votes on the constituency level without winning a single seat in the Assembly of Representatives of the People. Any disbursements proven to be unrelated to electoral expenses are to also be refunded by the list or candidate. The State reclaims any undisbursed funds. Any candidate or list that fails to adhere to the 3% threshold may not have access to the public funding grant in the following elections.
In addition, parties are entitled to equal access to the public media and free public space.
