Campaign financing
Campaign financing refers to the funds used to support political campaigns and candidates. It includes donations from individuals, organizations, and political action committees (PACs), as well as public funding in some cases. These funds cover expenses like advertising, staff, travel, and events. Regulations govern how much money can be donated and how it must be reported, aiming to ensure transparency and prevent corruption. Proper campaign financing helps candidates communicate their messages, reach voters, and compete fairly in elections.
