To reduce the influence of wealthy benefactors in relation to the campaigns by candidates, some countries put specific limits on the maximum size of donations in relation to election campaigns.
Code “YES, FOR NATURAL PERSONS” if there are any regulations limiting the amounts that an individual can donate/contribute to a candidate in relation to elections. Code “YES, FOR LEGAL PERSONS “if there are any regulations limiting the amounts that an entity (organisations, companies etc.) can donate/contribute to a candidate in relation to elections. Code “YES, FOR BOTH NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS” if there are regulations limiting the amounts that both and individual and an entity (organisations, companies etc.) can donate/contribute to a political party in relation to elections. Give information about the contribution limit to candidates in an external comment (in the currency used in the regulation, noting which one that is) and add information such as if the limit is per constituency, or per voter. If the limit is expressed as a calculation (for example 100 times the minimum wage), note that. Code “NO” if you find information about campaign finance but there is no information of such limits, or if there seem to be no regulations of candidate finance at all. If you judge that there may likely be regulations you have not been able to access about such limits, code “ND”.
