Political parties will have a unique account for the reception of public funding.
Political parties can spend public funds on: general party expenditures, electoral activities in general (eg. advertising, propaganda, electoral measurement studies, etc.), transportation, communications and shipping costs; and those expenses for electoral campaigns.
