Riga, Dec 4 (LETA) - The maximum amount of funds to be spent on pre-election campaigning by one party or an alliance of parties in next year's municipal elections will be EUR 869,640, the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) informed LETA.

The office has calculated the amount of pre-election campaign spending in each Latvian municipality that political organizations will be allowed to spend before the municipal elections scheduled for June 7, 2025. The limited expenditure covers political advertising, charity, sponsorship, benefits and donations.

The KNAB explains that pre-election campaign expenditure includes both the total expenditure of the political organization and the individual expenditure of the candidates.

Persons not affiliated with political parties and their associations will be allowed to use funds not exceeding EUR 11,100 for pre-election campaigning for or against political forces and candidates.

KNAB reminds that the 120-day pre-election campaign period before the municipal elections will start on February 8, 2025 and will last until election day - June 7.
