The amount of state budget appropriations for funding activities of a political party, which is allocated for that political party is determined by the following procedure:

1) by summing up only the votes of voters cast for the candidates of those political parties which received more than 3%  of all votes, the number of all votes is determined;

2) coefficient of one voter’s vote is established by dividing the state budget appropriations designated for funding activities of the political party by the number of votes of all the voters;
