Such a provision was included in the updated Bill on Political Parties Funding developed by CEC, Info-Prim Neo learned from the Commission’s deputy head Stefan Uratu. “Our group has worked on tools that will guarantee the quality of chances in a real and concrete way. It includes funding quotas for electoral competitors according to the degree to which they assure the equality of chances. If a competitor’s list is prepared according to the principle man-woman, it might get some bonus funding from the allotted budget”, explained the CEC deputy head.
