Comment

According to Georgian legislation, different types of sanctions may be applied in case of offenses related to a political party or campaign finance. For example, if a political party fails to submit a financial disclosure statement to the State Audit Office on time, the State Audit Office shall warn a political party and request the rectification of the failure within five days. If a political party still fails to submit the financial disclosure statement within the specified five days to the State Audit Office, it shall forfeit the right to receive public funding for the following year (Article 34 of the Organic Law of Georgia on Political Associations of Citizens, 1997). Also, in Article 34(2) of the Organic Law of Georgia on Political Associations of Citizens detailed list of fines is listed.
