Introduce mechanisms to allow for effective auditing of political party source of finance. In case the state contributes with financial support to the political parties and its campaign activities, auditing within a reasonable timeframe of one to two month after the poll should promote transparency of funding instead of an annual declaration as set out in the Law of Political Parties. It is also imperative that an auditing system be established for the political parties to check, before election day, campaign activities and other electoral expenses and origin of funds. Expenses should have a ceiling and parties sanctioned when infringing expenses limits.
