The Central Commission for Elections and Referenda of the Republic of Tajikistan exercises control over the purposeful use of funds allocated by the relevant election commission for conducting elections, as well as control over the receipt, sources of proper registration and targeted use of electoral funds of a candidate for deputies and political parties.

A candidate for deputies and a political party can not use other means to conduct elections except for the funds of the candidate's deputy and political party fund. If the candidate for deputy and the political party use other means, with the exception of the funds of the electoral fund of the candidate for deputy and political party, the corresponding election commission may cancel the decision on registration of the candidate for deputy and the submitted list of candidates from political parties.

The use of state property and funds not provided for in the Law is prohibited.
