National EMB,To ensure that donations do not come from other banned sources and to increase transparency, anonymous donations to candidates are sometimes banned outright or banned over a certain level (critics argue that provisions for anonymous donations protects the right to privacy of donors)
If you find information that candidates are not allowed to receive donations from anonymous or unnamed sources, code “YES”. Also code “YES” if it is stated that support, contributions or donations to candidates cannot be given anonymously. Also code “YES” if it is regulated that candidates must be able to provide names or to identify the source of all donations (a de facto ban on anonymous donations). Code “NO, BUT LIMIT” if it is stated that candidates can only receive anonymous donations if they do not exceed a certain limit. Code “NO” if you find information about sources of funding and there is no mention of anonymous sources, if anonymous donations are explicitly allowed or if it is clear that there are no limitations on sources of funds at all. If you cannot find information, code “ND”.
