Comment

Contributions may be up to the equivalent of two percent of the previous year's regular budget of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal in USD.
It should be noted that this limit for donors only applies per party, i.e., a natural or legal person may donate up to the 2% allowed by law to one party and donate another 2% to another party at the same time.
