5.2(3) Political Parties Act, the amended version of law in force from 23.03.2015, No. RT I 1994, 40, 654.

Comment

5.2 (3) The sources of funding of the election campaign of a single candidate include:
1) donations made on the terms and conditions laid down in this Act;
2) personal property of the single candidate.

This regulation suggests that candidates, as natural persons, are able to take loan and to spend it on campaign BUT the Law does not regulates that directly.
