If there is a regulation that political parties are banned from participating or engaging in any commercial or business activities, code “YES”. If legislation includes an exhaustive list of allowed sources of income for political parties, and this does not include income from business or commercial activities, code “YES”. By an “exhaustive list” is meant where it is stated something like “political parties are only allowed to receive income from the following sources” or (more vague) “political parties may receive funding from the following sources”. If it says something like “allowed sources for political parties include...” it is not exhaustive. If it is stated that political parties may engage in certain commercial activities, for example only relating to printing, communication or publishing, code “SOMETIMES”. If there are provisions that political parties are allowed to engage in commercial or business activities, without any further details or limitations, code “NO”. If there is no mention about the engagement of political parties in commercial or business activities, code “NO” If you have not found any information but you judge that there may likely be regulations you have not been able to access about this issue, code “ND”.
