Donation of public funds to election accounts


1. No Public Administration agency or corporate or other public sector body or company belonging to the State, a Self-governing Community, a province or a local council or partly privately-publicly owned company may bring funds into election accounts. The same prohibition applies to any firms who supply services or goods or undertake works on a contractual basis for any Public Administration department.


2. Donations of funds to said accounts by foreign bodies or entities are also forbidden, except for appropriations in the Budget of the European Communities’ institutions for the financing of elections to the European Parliament and for local councils elections, and only for persons to whom Section 13, subs. 2, of the Constitution applies.
