ECIElection Campaign-Finance Index

Law 6271 Article 14 and Law 2820 Articles 64–69 codify the contribution-limit framework in statute. Article 66 sets a statutory cap on individual donations per year (lira amount indexed annually). The framework is statutory, not regulation.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

Law 2820 Article 61 enumerates the closed list of permissible party income sources (membership dues, donations, sale of materials, etc.) — anonymous contributions are implicitly excluded because all sources must fit an enumerated category. Reinforced by Article 69 (donations must be received via party-HQ-printed receipts with donor identification) — surfaced in FUND.3/2.4 contexts elsewhere.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS-surfaced statutes (Law 6271 Article 14, Law 2820 Article 75, Anayasa Article 161, Law 2820 Ek Madde 7) do not codify a specific lira threshold above which contributions must be reported. Law 2820 Article 67 (not in FTS candidates here) sets the contribution cap but is itself the limit, not a 'reporting threshold' in the disclosure sense.

Law 2820 Article 74 codifies the audit/filing regime: 'Siyasi partilerin mali denetimi Anayasa Mahkemesince yapılır' — party financial audit is performed by the Constitutional Court. Reinforced by Article 73 (annual party budget submitted by end of October each year), Article 75 (AYM audits + Sayıştay assistance, parties provide annual final accounts).

Law 2820 Article 61 enumerates income sources; Article 69 (mentioned at v0 2.4 evidence) requires party-HQ-printed RECEIPTS for all donations, with donor identification. Article 66 prohibits anonymous large donations. Together they require contributor identification but DON'T mandate the full 'name + address + occupation + employer' enumeration of US-style disclosure. Partial.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS-surfaced ECI candidates (Anayasa 174, Law 2820 Madde 124, Ek Madde 1/7) do not codify a specific public-access requirement with a defined time. Law 2820 Article 75 paragraph 5 (Resmî Gazete publication of AYM audit conclusions) is the actual basis but was not surfaced for DISC.4 by FTS.

Law 2820 Article 116 imposes 6 months–1 year imprisonment on both the donor AND the responsible party official for prohibited donations. Reinforced by Article 115 (administrative fines for failure to file Article-33 notification), Law 298 Madde 161/162 (ballot-box destruction 1–3 years), and Madde 154 (penalties for unauthorized candidate filings). Comprehensive criminal + civil penalty schedule.

Law 2820 Article 101 (and Articles 74–76, 88, 101 collectively) codify Anayasa Mahkemesi (Constitutional Court) as the enforcement body for party-finance violations and party-closure procedures. AYM members are appointed via the multi-source process in Anayasa Article 146 (TBMM 3 members, Cumhurbaşkanı 12 members from a list including Yargıtay/Danıştay/Sayıştay nominees, bar association nominee, etc.) — protected from in-cycle political control by 12-year non-renewable terms.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS surfaces Madde 176 of Law 298 (defamation-related private cause of action during campaigns) and Madde 110/55 of Law 2820 (party-closure procedures) — none codify a general PRIVATE right of action for citizens to sue over campaign-finance violations. Enforcement is via Cumhuriyet Başsavcılığı (Public Prosecutor) and AYM only.

Law 6271 Article 14(1) explicitly prohibits presidential candidates from accepting donations from foreign states, international organizations, foreign legal entities, and non-Turkish-national natural persons. Reinforced by Law 2820 Articles 66 and 79.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS surfaces Anayasa Articles 27 (academic freedom), 74 (right to petition), 174 (secular-reform laws), and Law 298 Madde 94/C (overseas voter procedure) — none codify anti-circumvention rules for indirect/pass-through foreign sources (foreign-controlled domestic entities, foreign nationals via shell companies, etc.).

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

Law 2820 Article 60 requires party organs at every level to maintain multiple registers: member register (üye kayıt defteri), decisions book (karar defteri), incoming/outgoing correspondence register, income/expense register (gelir ve gider defteri), and fixed-assets register (demirbaş eşya defteri). Reinforced by Article 42 (member register subject to district board chair supervision).

Law 2820 Article 74 mandates AYM (Constitutional Court) audit of party finances with Sayıştay (Court of Accounts) assistance per Article 75. Comprehensive routine audit of all parties' final-accounts is statutorily required — not random sampling but full-coverage annual audit.
