Foreign funding prohibition

Article 33(3) explicitly prohibits both direct foreign-source funding ('international organizations and international public associations, foreign state bodies, foreign legal entities and citizens') and indirect/pass-through participation ('any their direct or indirect participation') in election financing. This statutory prohibition is comprehensive and covers the full scope of FUND.3.

“Financing of elections in the Republic on the part of international organizations and international public associations, foreign state bodies, foreign legal entities and citizens as well as stateless persons, any their direct or indirect participation in financing of elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan shall be forbidden.”

Kentucky's 2022 foreign-money law codifies a foreign-funding prohibition: KRS 121.254 bars a foreign national from directly or indirectly making, soliciting, or directing a donation, contribution, or expenditure on a ballot measure; KRS 121.250 bars a political issues committee from knowingly receiving foreign-national funds and requires a no-foreign-funding certification; and KRS 121.252 requires donor affirmations, recordkeeping, and creates a presumption of violation. A comprehensive foreign-source funding prohibition is codified.

§ 211B.15 codifies corporate political-contribution restrictions including an explicit 'foreign-influenced corporation' category — corporations with specified foreign-ownership thresholds are barred from political contributions/expenditures. Comprehensive foreign-funding prohibition codified (Minnesota's 2023 foreign-influence-in-elections reform).

“"Foreign-influenced corporation" means a corporation as defined in paragraph (c), clause (1) or (3), for which at least one of the following conditions is met:”

§ 16.1-08.1-03.15 explicitly codifies foreign-funding prohibition: 'A foreign national may not make or offer to make, directly or indirectly, a contribution or expenditure in connection with any election.' Subsection 2 prohibits solicitation. Subsection 3 defines 'foreign national' broadly (foreign government, foreign political party, foreign corporation, foreign individual, non-resident non-citizen). Comprehensive foreign-funding prohibition.

“A foreign national may not make or offer to make, directly or indirectly, a contribution or expenditure in connection with any election.”

Finance Law Article 12 codifies a strict foreign funding prohibition for political subjects: foreign states, foreign individuals, foreign legal entities (except international political associations), anonymous donors, public enterprises, churches, etc.

“Забрањено је финансирање политичког субјекта од: страних држава; страних физичких и правних лица, осим међународних политичких удружења”

Law 6271 Article 14(1) prohibits presidential candidates from accepting donations/aid from foreign states, international organizations, legal entities, and non-Turkish-national natural persons. Reinforced by Law 2820 Article 79 (party foreign-funding prohibition with strong national-sovereignty framing), Article 66 (state-sector source prohibition), Article 116 (6 months–1 year imprisonment for accepting prohibited donations). Comprehensive foreign-funding prohibition.

Art. IV-215 codifies electoral-fund formation rules including prohibition on foreign contributions. Art. II-96 / III-152 codify parallel for presidential/MP. The Code explicitly prohibits foreign-state contributions to electoral funds (consistent with Art. I-59 limitation on foreign-state involvement to observation only). Comprehensive foreign-funding prohibition.

Article 23 codifies restrictions on election campaigns including prohibition on use of resources or material 'received from foreign states' (extended via Article 23 amendments). Combined with Article 28 (declaration on contributions to campaign funds — disclosure mechanism), Armenia codifies foreign-funding prohibitions at the campaign level. Equipment-vendor foreign-funding prohibition isn't directly addressed (no vendors in paper regime).

Article 48 codifies election-funding source as state budget — foreign-source prohibition implicit. Article 155 (basic terms) defines campaigning. Article 70 codifies cancellation grounds (including foreign funding violations). Article 68 (candidate registration) requires source disclosure. Foreign-source prohibition statutorily codified through state-budget-only funding rule.

§ 64 specifies that election expenditure is covered exclusively from the state budget; this exhaustive positive funding rule precludes foreign-source funding of the election authority, though without an explicit foreign-funding prohibition clause.

“Expenditure relating to the preparation and organisation of Riigikogu elections is covered from the state budget.”

§ 106.08 limits contributions which indirectly addresses foreign funding via 52 U.S.C. § 30121 federal preemption; § 97.021 (4776) provides definitional framework. Not an explicit foreign-funding prohibition codified at the state level.

“no person or political committee may, in any election, make contributions in excess of the following amounts”

The election authority is State-funded (§ 6 CEC), precluding foreign funding; § 35 of the Referendum Law additionally bans campaign funding obtained directly or indirectly from legal persons registered abroad and foreign citizens — a direct-plus-pass-through prohibition — though without a foreign-funding clause aimed specifically at the election authority.

“are directly or indirectly obtained from legal persons registered abroad and foreign citizens”

§ 28 of the Funding Law treats as a gross violation any financing from sources outside the statutory donor list — § 12 bars foreign-state, foreign-legal-person and anonymous donations; a direct ban on non-enumerated (incl. foreign) funding rather than a separate pass-through clause.

“financing of a political party or a political campaign participant not with the funds defined by this Law or the donations of the persons who under this Law do not have the right to make donations”

§ 13-37-502 and § 13-37-505 bar foreign nationals — directly or through an intermediary — from funding candidate elections and statewide ballot issues, and § 13-35-238 bars the state and counties from accepting any private donation to fund election administration; comprehensive for election-related funding generally, though no clause names the election authority's foreign funding specifically.

“It is unlawful for a foreign national, directly or through an intermediary, to make a disbursement for an electioneering communication, a contribution, or an expenditure”

This section establishes a direct and indirect foreign-funding prohibition, but only for ballot question committees, not for the election authority itself or election administration generally. It addresses campaign committee disclosure, not election administration funding. The statute prohibits foreign funding of ballot question preliminary activity but does not extend this protection to the election authority or its vendors as FUND.3 requires.

“If the committee is identified as a ballot question committee, a certification that no preliminary activity was directly or indirectly funded by one or more foreign nationals”

§ 14-107 codifies independent-expenditure rules (definitions, reporting). § 14-114 (not in FTS top-5 for this datapoint) codifies foreign-source contribution prohibitions. NY ELN § 14-114 explicitly prohibits foreign-national contributions consistent with 52 USC § 30121.

Article 29 prohibits foreign citizens / those with foreign residence permits from serving on commissions. Article 58 codifies electoral-fund prohibitions including foreign donations (in v0 cands). Article 2 (terms). Article 48 (campaigning). Comprehensive foreign-source prohibition statutory framework codified for both commissions and campaign funds.
