29. What are the eligibility criteria for political parties to receive public funding?

Article 26, RA Constitutional Law on Political Parties, 2020.
Հոդված 26, ՀՀ Սահմանադրական Օրենք Կուսակցությունների Մասին, 2020.

To be eligible, political parties must have received at least 2% of the votes in the previous National Assembly election, or 7% if they participated as part of an electoral alliance.

There is an additional sentence that says that parties that participated in the election as part of an electoral alliance must also have reached "the electoral threshold foreseen in the RA Electoral Code." In 2021, this threshold for alliances was 7%, but starting in 2022, it is increasing to 8% for alliances of 2 parties, 9% for alliances of 3 parties, and 10% for alliances of 4 or more parties. As the 7% figure will apply for payouts in 2022 (because the previous election was in 2021), I put 7% as the number for alliances.
