Advance disclosure

Giving advance information about election campaign funding makes the funding more transparent and supports openness of government and democracy.

Information on election campaign funding should already be available when voters make their voting decisions. For this purpose, the candidates may submit a voluntary advance disclosure of their election campaign funding before the election day. Remember, however, that the advance disclosure does not replace the election funding disclosure that must be submitted after the elections.

In the advance disclosure, the candidate can give an estimate of their election campaign funding and costs

You can submit the advance disclosure after the completion of the master list of candidates, which takes place one month before the election day. Advance disclosures can be submitted until the day before the election day.

In the advance disclosure, the candidate presents their estimate of the election campaign funding that they intend to raise and the costs of the election campaign. Alternatively, the candidate may report the funding that they have already raised and the costs they have incurred.

In the advance disclosure, the candidate can give the same information as in the election funding disclosure. In other words, the candidate can itemise their election campaign funding and campaign costs.

The advance disclosures are not subject to oversight and they are not checked. The purpose of the advance disclosure is to provide advance information on the funding and costs of the election campaign. You can also use the advance disclosure as a basis for your election funding disclosure.

Advance disclosures are not subject to oversight. The advance disclosures of the candidates who were not elected or appointed as alternate members will remain available online for 30 days after the confirmation of the election results. After that, they will be automatically removed.
