Summaries
  • State support to candidates and political parties may be financial.
  • The state should enable new parties to compete under fair conditions with more established parties.
  • Where legislation allows for public funding, private funding, or a mix of the two, legislation should ensure that all political parties and candidates are treated equitably with respect to campaign finance and expenditures.
