Campaign financing refers to the funds raised and spent to promote candidates, political parties, or specific policies during elections. This financial support can come from various sources, including individual donations, political action committees (PACs), and party contributions. The amount of money raised often influences a candidate's ability to communicate their message and reach voters. In many countries, there are laws regulating campaign financing to ensure transparency and fairness. These regulations may limit the amount of money individuals or organizations can donate and require candidates to disclose their funding sources. Such measures aim to prevent corruption and ensure that elections are conducted fairly, allowing all candidates a chance to compete.
