The political parties that the Junta Central Electoral grants the right to participate in the 2000 presidential election will share RD$224,231.95 million in campaign money from the central government. Most of the money will go to the nation’s three majority parties, the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano, the Partido de la Liberación Dominicana and the Partido Reformista Social Cristiano. Taxpayers will be contributing RD$42 million more to the presidential election than what was distributed to the politicians during the congressional and municipal election held in May 1998.
