Candidates and Senate groups are eligible for election funding if they receive at least 4 per cent of the formal first preference votes in the election they contested. Election funding is paid to the party where the candidate or Senate group is endorsed by a registered political party and to the appointed ‘agent’ for other candidates and Senate groups.
The rate of election funding for the 2004 federal election was $1.94 cents per formal first preference vote received.
