Why it matters

• Promotes financial transparency by mandating disclosure of funding sources and expenditure.
• Maintains a level playing field during electoral processes by regulating campaign conduct.
• Upholds the constitutional mandate of free and fair elections by curbing undue influence.

How it is asked
