During an election, contributions directly to an election campaign fund can be made in addition to the regular annual limits to political parties' operational budgets. These additional allowances are:
National Assembly elections:
Candidates included on the party list: 5,000,000 AMD
Other eligible physical persons: 500,000 AMD
Municipal elections in cities with over 4000 electors (using the proportional party list system):
Candidates included on the party list: 500,000 AMD (1,000,000 AMD for Yerevan elections only)
Other eligible physical persons: 100,000 AMD
Legal persons are not allowed to make campaign contributions at any level.
