The DR's major and minor political parties have received RD$200 million in funds since the beginning of the year and they are due to receive a total of RD$307 million, for a total of RD$526.5 million in 2009.
The funds, which are expected to be much higher in 2010, will be used in preparation for the 2010 municipal and congressional elections.
Of the total funds, the major political parties the PLD and PRD will receive 80% and the remaining 20 political parties will divide up the remaining funds equally.
To obtain designation as a major political party, a party must obtain at least 5% of the vote in the previous presidential elections.
