Comment

- In regards with financing of specific political activities, the law states that political parties are entitled to public funding of an amount that is equivalent to 10% of the value of the political debt with the condition that the political party gained representation in the Congress at the last election (at least one congressman), and also 2% of the total of valid votes of all political parties and independant candidates, taking as a base the elective level with the most number votes obtained. 

- The allocation of the Political Debt will be granted to political parties and independant candidates that patricipate in a general election, an amount of 20 Lempiras for each valid vote obtained in the most voted elective level. No political party can receive less than 15% of the total amount asigned to the political party that obtains the most votes, unless that it only registers less than 10,000 votes in the most voted elective level.
