2001 Federal Election Funding Payments Announced
6 December 2001
The Australian Electoral Commission today announced that an interim election funding payment totalling $35,686,005.57 has been paid following the 2001 federal election. The amount paid represents 95% of entitlements calculated as at 30 November 2001 on the basis of votes cast at the 10 November general election for the 40th Australian Parliament. The outstanding entitlements will be paid when the vote count figures are finalised and verified.
Candidates and Senate Groups become entitled to a payment of election funding if they obtain at least 4% of the formal first preference vote in the election they contested. The entitlements of candidates endorsed by a registered political party are paid to the party, while those for independent candidates are paid directly to the candidate (or agent, if appointed).
The rate of election funding at this election was 179.026 cents per formal first preference vote received for both the House of Representatives and Senate.
Attached is a break-up of the entitlements of parties and candidates paid this week.
