The oversight of campaign finance is made by the MoI, and its district offices that perform oversight of campaign expenditures outside Bratislava. The MoI can impose sanctions up to 300 EUR in case a candidate does not cooperate with the authority in conducting the oversight. The law does not provide for a comprehensive scrutiny of the candidates’ reports that would be presented to the public in a consolidated form. The MoI informed ODIHR EAM that they intended to conduct only sporadic checks and did not plan to produce a compiled report of the undertaken control activities. The law also does not provide a timeline for publication of the control’s findings.
