Control of financing for primary election candidacies


Every primary election candidacy duly registered for popularly elected positions must appoint a person responsible to the party treasurer for finance. The treasurer can authorize or reject the proposed appointment for justifiable reasons. Any person not authorized by the treasurer cannot undertake fundraising activities.


The party treasurer shall create a sub-account at the request of each person responsible for finance. All sub-accounts created shall be unified by the treasurer once the internal process is finalized.


Contributions, donations or any other type of liquid funding for primary election candidacies must be deposited into the single account of the party and the sub-accounts created by the treasurer can only receive deposits from the single account of the party.


The Tribunal must be informed of the full names, ID numbers and domiciles of the individuals authorized to undertake movements in the single account of the party.


Each person responsible for finance must submit a report concerning the expenses incurred during the internal election process to the party.
