minor party candidates and new party candidates may become eligible for partial public funding of their general election campaigns. (a minor party candidate is the nominee of a party whose candidate received between 5 and 25 percent of the total popular vote in the preceding presidential election. a new party candidate is the nominee of a party that is neither a major party nor a minor party. this includes most "independent" candidates, because they run on a token party line.) the amount of public funding to which a minor party candidate is entitled is based on the ratio of the party's popular vote in the preceding presidential election to the average popular vote of the two major party candidates in that election. a new party candidate receives partial public funding after the election if he/she receives 5 percent or more of the vote. the entitlement is based on the ratio of the new party candidate's popular vote in the current election to the average popular vote of the two major party candidates in the election.
