The Central Electoral Board (JCE) has rejected a proposal by the PRSC political party to categorize it as a majority party. Recognition of this claim by the JCE would have allowed the PRSC to receive a third of the 80% of public funds allotted to political parties for their campaigning activities. The PRSC argued that the allocation of funds by the JCE should be made based on the results of the 2006 congressional and municipal elections when the PRSC received 15% of the vote, and not the 2008 presidential election. In the 2008 presidential election, the PRSC's candidate Amable Aristy Castro fell below the 5% minimum threshold for classifying as a majority party. In 2009 the parties will receive RD$752.2 million, or 0.25% of national spending. Of this total amount the PRD and PLD will receive 80% of the funds and the remaining 20% will be divided between the remaining political parties.
