receive from the candidate's party account in the state elections campaign fund. This estimate
must be based upon the allocations and formulas in section 10A.31, subdivisions 5 and 5a, any
necessary vote totals provided by the secretary of state to apply the formulas in section 10A.31,
subdivisions 5 and 5a , and the amount of money expected to be available after 100 percent of
