3. For the distribution of regular funding between parties and coalitions qualifying under case a) of paragraph 1 of this article, and for electoral funding, the amount made available for each of the above categories is divided by the total number of valid ballots obtained by the parties and coalitions belonging to the same category. The result is multiplied by the number of valid ballots obtained by each party or coalition and the product is the amount that the party or coalition is entitled to receive.
4. The amount of state funding that a coalition is entitled to receive is divided between the parties it comprises, based on their agreement. The agreement is communicated to the Minister of Interior, Public Administration and Decentralisation within one (1) month of the elections. If this period expires without action, the amount is distributed equally between the parties comprising the coalition. If a party leaves the coalition, the amount of state funding it is entitled to receive is distributed according to the agreement of the parties that were comprised in it. If such agreement does not exist or is not communicated according to this paragraph, the amount is distributed equally between the parties of the coalition, including the party that left the coalition.
