Transparent and accountable mechanisms to record, disclose and audit the donations to political parties and their expenditure during the electoral campaign should be established. Consideration should be given to the introduction of limits on donations to political parties, as well as limits to their campaign expenditure. Enforcement mechanisms to guarantee adequate public disclosure of parties’ income and expenditures should also be introduced and not limited to campaign periods. Consideration could also be given to reducing the current reimbursement to parties from public funds.
