During non-general-election years, each registered political party that has met or complied with the procedure established in § 628a of this title, may annually draw up to four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) from the Election Fund for Administrative Expenses. Likewise, during the election year, up to six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) may be drawn against such Fund. The limits set forth in § 628c of this title shall not apply to the amount appropriated during an election year, and any expenditure related to the political party in question may be drawn against it. The surplus from previous years may not be drawn against. In the event that an unregistered party or a party that has lost its registration is registered, or meets the minimum fundraising requirement after December 31 st of the preceding year, the amount available to such party shall be prorated according to the time remaining until the end of the current year. It shall be the responsibility of the Office of the Election Comptroller to audit this fund as provided by regulations.
