Welcome to the International IDEA Database on Political Finance Laws and Regulations
The International IDEA database on Political Finance Laws and Regulations contains information on the laws on funding of political parties for more than 100 countries in the world. That makes it the largest collection of such information available.
The database, which will be regularly updated, provides information on different themes like regulation and enforcement; public funding provisions; bans on sources of funding; and on disclosure rules and ceilings for income and expenditure.
More information about each of the questions and thematic areas can be found under “Choose theme” by following the link after each question.
The information is presented country by country (click on the maps or choose a country from the scroll-down menu) and by theme. You can make your own comparisons based on countries, themes or regions.
