14. Is there a limit on the amount a donor can contribute to a political party during a non-election specific period?

Articles 2(3.1), 2(3.2), 3(1) & 4(2), Law on Financing of Political Organisations (Parties), the amended version of law in force from 01.01.2020, Latvijas Vēstnesis, 114, 02.08.1995

Section 4. Gifts (Donations)

(2) A natural person is allowed to make a gift (a donation) to one political organisation (a party) for the sum not exceeding the amount of 20 minimum monthly salaries over a period of one calendar year.

Section 3. Joining Fee, Membership Fee and Gifts (Donations) Made by a Member to a Political Organisation (Party)

(1) The total amount of the payments of joining fee and membership fee and gifts (donations) made by a member for one political organisation (party) may not exceed 50 minimum monthly salaries over a period of one calendar year.

However, for parties, who are receiving public funding, stricter rules apply:

Section 2. Sources of Financing

(3.1)If a party receives the funding and is represented in the parliament, the total amount of all payments from a natural person may not exceed five minimum monthly salaries

(3.2) If a party receives public funding, but in the last parliamentary elections has received more than 2 but less than 5 per cent of votes, the total amount of all payments from a natural person may not exceed 12 minimum monthly salaries
