223 Entitlement to election funding—registered political parties
A registered political party is entitled to election funding under this section for all elections held on the same day if, in relation to a candidate whom the party endorses in an election, the total number of formal first preference votes given for the candidate is at least 4% of the total number of formal first preference votes made in the election.

claimed in relation to the registered political party for all elections held that day; and
accepted by the commission under section 231.
