Description
The funding of other contesting parties in Salzburg supports political engagement beyond established officeholders and thus strengthens social cohesion and democracy. Political parties or interest groups that have contested a Salzburg state election but have not won a mandate and have achieved at least 1% of the votes cast may apply for a capped subsidy for their election campaign expenses. With an annual funding amount of up to €100,000, the state program makes an important contribution to the diversity of political opinions and promotes equal opportunities in election campaigns.
As direct, continuously accessible support, the subsidy exclusively covers expenses for election advertising. A prerequisite for funding is proof of the incurred costs. Applications can be submitted at any time to the responsible processing office of the Salzburg state government, with the payment made once. Regular updates of the actual payment amounts ensure transparency regarding repayments and quarterly delays. By partially financing advertising costs, new and smaller political groups are given the opportunity to make their political message accessible to a broader public and actively contribute to democratic decision-making.
