Candidates for deputies of the Majlisi Namoyandagon, political parties participating in the elections, establish their own electoral fund to finance the elections. The funds of the electoral fund of the candidate for deputy and political party are kept on the temporary savings account of the State Savings Bank of the Republic of Tajikistan "Amonatbank" and its branches. The means from these funds are used only for conducting elections and at the behest of candidates and political parties.

State Savings Bank of the Republic of Tajikistan "Amonatbank", its branches open temporary special accounts for the organization of the electoral fund of the candidate and political party on the basis of written notification to the relevant election commission. You can not make a profit out of these funds.
