Description

To ensure compliance, political finance regulations must be accompanied with sanctions against breaches. This question covers the different sanctions that are applicable for violations such as failing to submit accurate financial reports, receiving funds from prohibited sources, exceeding spending limits, abusing state resources or buying votes.

Instructions

Note all types of sanctions that may be applied in case of offences related to political party or campaign finance. Multiple alternatives can be given. If a political party, candidate or other actor (such as party officials, donors or party/candidate auditors) may be given a fine or other financial penalty, code “FINE”. If a candidate or other actor (such as party officials, donors or party/candidate auditors) may be given a prison sentence, code “PRISON”. If a political party or candidate has to return amounts received against the rules, or forward the amount (or a multiple of the amount) to someone else, such as the EMB, code “FORFEITURE”). If there are provisions that direct public funding may be withheld operations until the party has fulfilled certain actions relating to an offence relating to political finance, code “SUSPENSION OF PUBLIC FUNDING” If there are offences or infractions relating to political party finance which can lead to direct public funding being reduced, stopped or demanded in return, code “LOSS OF PUBLIC FUNDING” If a political party may be required to cease all or some of its operations until the party has fulfilled certain actions relating to an offence relating to political finance, code “SUSPENSION OF PARTY”. If a political party may be deregistered for offences relating to political finance, code “DEREGISTRATION OF PARTY”. If a candidate may lose her/his nomination to stand for election for offences relating to political finance, code “LOSS OF NOMINATION OF CANDIDATE”. If there are other types of sanctions apart from those noted above, code “OTHER”. If so, you must give details in an external comment. If there are no provisions for sanctions regarding breaches of political finance regulations, code “NONE”. If there are no regulations whatsoever relating to political finance (and so there cannot be any sanctions), code “NA”. If you judge that there may likely be regulations you have not been able to access about this issue, code “ND”.
