Electoral Law of Afghanistan, 2010

Article 63, 'The following acts shall constitute Electoral Offences:p. Making use of foreign funds for the purpose of influencing the electoral process;' 

Ohman, Magnus (2009) Campaign finance oversight in the 2009 Presidential elections in Afghanistan. IFES Political Finance White Paper Series, No 7

P 6, 'The 2005 Electoral Act admittedly gives candidates access to public media (Article 50 (2)) and it makes vote buying, the use of illegal funds and the use of foreign funds ?for the purpose of influencing the electoral process? into electoral offences (Article 53 e, o & p), but these are also the only aspects of campaign finance that are dealt with in the law.'
