Comment

The Law on Political Parties lists the categories of expenditures but does not set an expenditure limit outside the election period. However,  the amount spent for each candidate should not exceed AZN 500 thousand from election fund assets as described in Article 156.1 of Election Code. The maximum limit of the election fund assets of a political party or bloc of political parties shall be determined by multiplying this amount.
