Aspects of Political Financing: Addressing Specific Objectives for Reforms in the Russian Federation
This paper will address some of the main questions raised during the roundtable conference organised by the International Foundation for Election Systems and the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation at the Aerostar Hotel, Moscow on 18 December 1997. The title of the roundtable was Campaign Finance Disclosure and Enforcement: Russian and Comparative Perspectives. It also discusses questions raised at additional meetings with staff members of the Central Election Commission on 17 and 19 December 1997. The following five core issues were discussed at these meetings: 1. BROADCASTING - What are the methods used in other countries to regulate political output on the broadcast media? - In particular, how are privately-owned television and radio stations regulated? - Apart from rules concerning political broadcasts by candidates and electoral associations, is it possible to regulate news broadcasts and other programmes to ensure that they are free from partisan bias? 2. PUBLIC FINANCING OF CANDIDATES AND ELECTORAL ASSOCIATIONS - What formulae are used in other countries to allocate public funds to competing candidates and parties? - What are the practical implications of alternative formulae? - Does ‘fairness’ mean that every party or electoral association must be given an equal share regardless of its size, political significance and past electoral performance? 3. FINANCIAL DEPOSITS - Is a system of financial deposits for candidates at parliamentary elections (such as that in Britain) a reasonable and effective way of discouraging ‘trivial’ candidates? 4. THE DOCTRINE OF AGENCY - Does this legal device, used in Britain, Canada and elsewhere, make it easier to control unauthorised campaign expenditures? - Precisely how do the rules relating to ‘agency’ operate? 5. ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES - In practice, are serious penalties for contraventions of laws regulating the financing of political campaigns ever imposed in other countries? Or are the penalties merely theoretical? - Are there any suitable intermediate penalties between what might be viewed as the extremes of, on the one hand, small fines and, on the other hand, of substantial prison sentences?

Conducted between July 2003 and September 2004, APPFI includes desk research and field interviews of 440 political, party, and civic leaders; the resulting report yields a better understanding of the underpinnings of problems related to party financing and corruption, both in Africa and around the globe.
