Comment

There is no official ceiling on spending. Instead there is a general ceiling for revenues collected in electoral campaigns.

The ceiling of the financial means that can be transferred to the Electoral Account of the electoral contestant shall be established by the Central Electoral Commission, taking as a base of calculation a coefficient multiplied by the number of voters in the electoral constituency in which the elections take place; The coefficient is k = 0,5% * the yearly average salary which in 2018 is 300 EUR, thus k = 1,5 EUR.

The ceiling = k * the number of voters
