PPF

PPF distribution formula

Administration, elected strength, special-interest representation, and vote share — exact coefficients follow Finance Act schedules.

Every fiscal year the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) divides the Political Parties Fund pool into four buckets. The illustrative weighting below is for narrative orientation — the gazetted coefficients for the active cycle always govern.

5%
Administration
Operations and audit compliance
10%
Elected strength
Governors, senators, MPs, MCAs
15%
Special-interest seats
Women, youth, PWD lists
70%
Vote share
Proportional from last general election

Parties must clear an entry threshold (currently linked to votes secured in the preceding general election) before receiving any PPF allocation. Disqualifying events — late filings, audit failures, deregistration — push amounts back into the pool for redistribution.
