|---|---|---|---|
| DISC.1Disclosure threshold in statuteIs the disclosure threshold (amount above which contributions must be reported) defined in statute, not regulation? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
| DISC.2Enumerated filing scheduleIs the filing schedule (pre-election, post-election, quarterly, etc.) enumerated in statute with specific deadlines? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
| DISC.3Disclosure of contributor identityDoes statute require contributor name, address, occupation, and employer be disclosed for contributions above the threshold? | 0/20.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |

Enforcement
37.5% · 2/4| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| ENF.1Penalty schedule codifiedAre penalties for campaign-finance violations defined in statute with specified amounts (civil) and/or criminal grades? | 1/250.0% | Art. I-57 codifies restrictions on conducting election campaigning. Art. I-9 codifies voters' rights with associated penalties (in Criminal Code + Code on Administrative Offenses, separate instruments). Comprehensive penalty schedule for election-process violations exists, but specific campaign-finance penalty amounts live primarily in Code on Administrative Offenses + Criminal Code (referenced from this Code). | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| ENF.2Enforcement body independenceIs the enforcement body (election commission, attorney general, campaign-finance regulator) appointed by multi-branch process and protected from in-cycle political control? | 0.5/150.0% | Art. III-142 codifies precinct-commission establishment procedures. Art. II-119 / III-174 / IV-249 codify voting-at-place-of-stay procedures. The CEC is the enforcement body for campaign finance; its independence is codified in the separate 'On the Central Election Commission' law (President nominates, Verkhovna Rada confirms with party-balance requirements). | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| ENF.3Private right of actionDoes statute provide a private right of action (citizen or party suit) for campaign-finance violations? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
Foreign Source

|---|---|---|---|
| FOR.1Foreign-source prohibitionIs direct foreign contribution to a candidate or campaign committee prohibited by statute? | 1/1100.0% | Art. IV-215 codifies electoral-fund formation with explicit prohibition on foreign-source contributions. Art. II-75 codifies presidential candidate eligibility (citizenship requirement). Art. III-134 codifies MP candidate eligibility. Art. I-58 / I-59 codify foreign-state limited to observation only. Foreign-source prohibition statutorily codified. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| FOR.2Indirect / pass-through foreign rulesAre indirect foreign-source channels (foreign nationals via domestic entities, foreign-controlled LLCs, etc.) addressed in statute? | 0/20.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Art. II-86 / III-143 / III-148 / II-91 codify CEC general powers and financial support for elections — none specifically address indirect / pass-through foreign rules. Indirect channels (foreign-controlled domestic entities) not addressed in the Electoral Code (Anti-Money-Laundering Law applies separately). | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| FOR.3Foreign-source verificationAre campaign committees required by statute to verify contributors are not foreign-source (vs. relying on contributor self-attestation alone)? | 0/10.0% | Art. II-96 codifies electoral-fund formation rules — funds may only receive contributions from natural persons who are citizens of Ukraine (statutory enumeration of permitted-source classes effectively requires verification). Affirmative contributor-verification obligation lives in fund-manager duty (Art. III-153 / II-97 reporting requirements) rather than as a separate audit step. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
Traceability

| TRACE.1Records-retention requirementAre campaign committees required by statute to retain records (contributor lists, expenditure documentation, bank statements) for a defined period? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
| TRACE.2Audit accessAre campaign-committee records subject to mandatory audit (post-election random sample, threshold-triggered audit, or routine cycle) under statute? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Art. II-86 codifies general CEC powers. Fund-manager reporting required (Art. III-153 / II-97) but no statutory mandatory audit of campaign records — audit access lives in CEC regulation. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
