The Junta Central Electoral, the organizer of the elections in the Dominican Republic, conditioned the funding of the political campaigns to the approval by that electoral court of the candidates presented by the parties. The JCE will be funding the three principal political campaigns of recognized parties to the tune of RD$45 million. Most of these monies will become available next week. He said that the parties must have accounting systems in place by 27 March and statements of the use of the funds must be presented no later than three months after the election.
