The author has analyzed the conceptual approaches to the study of state regulation of financial support for the activities of political parties. The author argues that effective functioning of the political system in the country determines the development of democracy in society. As the main subjects of politics, political parties are nowadays one of the key elements of democracy, whose effective activities are impossible without adequate financial support. It has been found that legislative support for political parties to obtain sufficient funding in order to fulfill their statutory tasks while maintaining independence in their activities from sources of funding is a contemporary problem in the field of public administration and administration knowledge as well as an actual practical task of public administration.
