50. Do third parties have to report on election campaign finances?

‘As far as the electoral campaign is concerned, there is no provision in the electoral laws for third-party actors to report contributions received and expenditure to an oversight authority like the Electoral Commission, let alone that financial reports be itemized. In practice, third-party actors such as foundations, NGOs, think tanks, or unions do not contribute in the electoral campaign for or against a party or a candidate, nor do they file any such reports. Even when unions do undertake political activities, they make no such reports.’
