In some countries where corporations and trade unions are seen as more likely to donate to different candidates, it is argued that a ban on corporate donations should be combined with a ban on trade union donations
If you find information that candidates are not allowed to receive donations from trade unions, workers’ organisations etc, code “YES”. Also code “YES” if it is stated that such entities are banned from giving support, contributions or donations to candidates. Also code “YES” if legislation includes an exhaustive list of allowed sources of income for candidates, and this does not include any of the above. By an “exhaustive list” is meant where it is stated something like “candidates are only allowed to receive income from the following sources” or (more vague) “candidates may receive funding from the following sources”. If it says something like “allowed sources for candidates include...” it is not exhaustive. If you find information about allowed or banned sources for candidates and there is no mention about the sources mentioned above, code “NO”.
