5. Is there a ban on donations from Trade Unions to political parties?

Section 59 (1) of the Solomon Islands Political Parties Integrity Act 2014 only requires that political parties shall "within 90 days after the close of the polling in an election, lodge with the Commission in the prescribed form a financial statement of donations received, including their sources, and election expenses. Section 60(1) similarly only requires that a political party shall "in each calendar year lodge with the Commission quarterly returns in the prescribed form setting out any donations received by or on behalf of the political party from any source"

The Solomon Islands Political Parties Integrity Act 2014 was the first legislation enacted to specifically regulate political parties and does not cover all aspects of political party finances, including the banning of particular kinds of donations to political parties.
