Austria
Answer
Equal Proportional to votes received
Flat rate by votes received
Comment
Non-parliamentary parties receive a flat rate for each vote won [?2.5/vote). For parliamentary parties, the total funding (?4.6/eligible voter) is divided proportionally by votes won after deduction of ?218,000 for each party with at least five parliamentary seats (this amount is then given equally to each such party).
