Comment

A candidate in the single-member constituency and the referendum initiators may donate up to 20 AMEs (AMEs - average monthly earnings valid in the fourth quarter of the previous calendar year). The total donation by a candidate to fund their political campaign in a calendar year may not exceed 20% of such persons' declared annual income for the last previous calendar year and declared available funds.
