It is the same figure that was allocated in 2016 and that is only lowered in cases of repetition due to lack of investiture
MADRID, 1 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -
The parties and other candidacies will receive 21,167.64 euros for each seat in Congress and the Senate that they obtain in the general elections on July 23, the same amount as in 2016 and in the April 2019 elections, although they will be 6,350. .29 euros more than in the last elections, those of November 10, 2019, which, as it was an electoral repetition, saw the subsidies reduced.
In addition, they will receive 81 cents for each vote to Congress that translates into seats and another 32 cents per ballot to the Senate that ligre representation, according to the order of the Ministry of Finance published this Thursday in the Official State Gazette (BOE).
The ministerial order also sets the limit of electoral expenses for 23J, which is variable and depends on the lists that are presented. For these elections, it will be the result of multiplying by 0.37 euros the number of inhabitants corresponding to the legal populations of the constituencies where each party, federation, coalition or group is present.
Also, and as usual, the State will subsidize the candidacies the electoral expenses originated by the direct and personal sending to the voters of envelopes and electoral ballots or of electoral propaganda and publicity.
Specifically, 23 cents will be paid per voter in each of the constituencies in which a list has been presented to Congress and the Senate, but only those formations that manage to form their own group in the corresponding chamber will be entitled to receive this subsidy by 'mailing' . The Treasury also makes it clear that this subsidy will not be included in the limit of electoral expenses, provided that the effective performance of the activity is justified.
In the last legislative elections, the amounts paid to the parties were lower because the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime (LOREG) determines that the repetition of elections due to lack of investiture entails a reduction both in subsidies and in the spending limit that must be met by the matches.
