Political parties that make it into parliament as a result of the elections in spring 2006 will receive compensation for their campaign expenses from the state budget. This was stated by the head of the Central Election Commission, Yaroslav Davydovych, on Sunday on the program "Podrobno s Dmitriyem Kiselevym" on the ICTV television channel. \n \n"The law on political parties and the law on elections state: political parties that become winners, that is, become parliamentary, will be compensated from the state budget for funds spent on pre-election campaigning," said the head of the CEC. He emphasized that these expenses are accounted for in the general election estimate. \n \nResponding to a question about whether parties might abuse this provision and include inflated figures in their estimates, Davydovych said: "This will be strictly controlled." \n \nAccording to him, there is a positive example of Russia, where parties' expenses for the pre-election campaign are partially reimbursed from the state budget. "This provision of the law will work for the first time - we will see how it works," noted the head of the Central Election Commission. \n \nElections to parliament and local government bodies of Ukraine will take place on March 26, 2006.
