Delia Ferreira Rubio; Independent Consultant Argentina: "The first comprehensive law on political finance (Act 25600 - 2002) expressly included "candidates" as subject to legal restrictions, prohibitions and limits aimed at political parties. Act 26215 does not mention "candidates" as subject to the to the law with the only exception of some rules regarding media ads. The wording of the legal text refers "political parties" only". (Source: Expert input provided by Delia Ferreira Rubio, Independent Consultant; International Board of Transparency International, October 2011)

"Individual candidates are not allowed to participate in elections, only through political parties. In this sense, funding for individual candidates is not allowed, and parties are the only actor allowed to receive funds and report for their expenses." (Source: MoneyPoliticsTransparency.org. 2016. Argentina)

Law does not regulate donations to candidates. However, individual candidates are not allowed to participate in elections, only through political parties.
