17. If there is a limit on the amount a donor can contribute to a political party during an election, what is the limit?

IFES, Lebanon’s 2017 Parliamentary Election Law  

"Paragraph (5) of Article 60 provides that the “campaign finance contribution made by a single natural or legal Lebanese person” to a candidate or list may not exceed 50 percent of their campaign spending limit and must be made through a bank transaction.60 A candidate may not receive a greater sum in contributions than his or her election spending limit, and contributions may not be made through an intermediary (para.[6])."   
Article 61 states the formulae for calculating the spending limits of candidates and lists: 
• A candidate’s limit is the fixed sum of 150 million Lebanese Pounds plus 5,000 Lebanese Pounds for each voter registered in the voters lists in the major constituency; • The spending limit for a list is a fixed sum of 150 million Lebanese Pounds. 
However, Article 61 also provides that these spending limits may be “reconsidered at the opening of the campaign period in the light of economic conditions” by a decree issued by the Council of Ministers at the suggestion of the minister and following consultations with the SCE (Supervisory Commission for Elections)."
