42. If there are limits on the amount a candidate can spend, what is the limit?

Section 74, paragraph 9

(9) Limitations on campaign funds for pairs of candidates shall be determined by the Provincial KPU and Regency/Municipal KPU by taking into account the number of votes, coverage/area, and regional cost standards.' In this case, there are three main variables that determine the limits of spending on campaign funds, namely the number of votes, the area, and the standard of regional costs. These three variables have consequences for different campaign budget spending limits in each region.

The KPU regulation stipulates the formula for calculating the amount of campaign fund spending limits as follows

a. general meeting=number of participants*frequency of activities*standard regional costs;

b. limited meeting=number of participants*frequency of activities*standards regional costs;

c. face-to-face meetings=number of participants*frequency*standard area fees

d. preparation of campaign materials=number of activities* (30%*number of votes)*IDR 25,000

e. management/consultant service

f. campaign props that are financed by the Candidate Pairs whose numbers are guided by the decisions of the Provincial KPU/Aceh KIP or Regency/Municipak KPU/KIP
