33. What criteria determine allocation for free or subsidized access to media for political parties?

Political Parties Act 1994, amended 2015, Section 18.

Media time is allocated both equally and proportionally (share of seats). According to the Constitutional Court, equal opportunities imply that all parties running for a specific election receive some media time. Even though large parties receive more time, small parties are partly privileged to make sure they can also launch some spots in the media.
