Liability of a campaigner for debts

1. Political organisations shall be entitled to pay the arrears exclusively from legal sources of financing; other campaigners shall be entitled to pay the arrears only with own (personal) funds.

2. Arrears of campaigners arising during an electoral political campaign must be settled before the beginning of the next political campaign of a respective election. If a former independent campaigner fails to pay the arrears within the set time limit, upon registering such participant as an independent participant of another electoral political campaign, the maximum permitted amount of expenditure for this electoral political campaign shall be reduced by 25 per cent by the decision of the Central Electoral Commission.

3. After paying the arrears, a former independent campaigner must, within five working days, report the payment of the arrears and indicate the sources of funds used for this purpose to the Central Electoral Commission under the procedure laid down by the Commission.
