In particular, the authorities could consider establishing periodic, timely and transparent reporting of campaign contributions and expenditures, timely publishing of such reports including before election day, and providing a clear oversight and monitoring mandate to a qualified independent institution. Furthermore, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions for breaches of campaign finance regulations could be introduced.
