Quote

In a democracy, fundraising by political parties is an important element to support their ability to organize, promote candidates and policies, conduct outreach, and run campaigns. It is also an opportunity for electors to participate by supporting political organizations. Proactive financial disclosure requirements, such as the annual revenue return, are designed to ensure political financing is fair and transparent.
