Law on General Elections, Article 40, paragraphs 1, 2, and 3.

1. No certified political entity shall have campaign expenditures exceeding an amount to be established by a CEC rule no later than five (5) days following the announcement of Election Day.
2. The CEC shall determine the maximum campaign expenditures based on the total number of voters registered in the voters list at the time of the last update of the voters list available to the CEC.
3. Maximum campaign expenditures shall apply to any goods and services purchased for campaign purposes regardless of the time of purchase or provision of service.

Comment

Political entities are not permitted to surpass the campaign expenditure limit established by the Central Election Commission (CEC). The CEC determines this maximum campaign expenditure based on the total number of registered voters in the voter list at the time of the last voter list update accessible to the CEC.
These expenditure limits are applicable to each item and service used for campaign purposes, regardless of when the purchase or service provision occurs.
