State funding of election

Publicly funded elections are designed to reduce corruption by funding elections with federal tax revenue or income tax donations as opposed to corporate campaign contributions or individuals with disproportionate wealth. The purpose is to remove undue monetary influence on politicians. It is an attempt to move toward one person one vote in a democracy.

State funding of elections means the government will pay to the candidates of political parties to contest elections.

Germany has provided public funding to the political parties since 1958.
