International IDEA's Political Finance Database is the leading global resource of comparative political finance data for those interested in money in politics and has been since its launch in 2003.
The Database provides answers to fundamental questions on political finance within four broad categories: a) Bans and Limits on Private Income, b) Public Funding, c) Regulations on Spending d) Reporting, Oversight and Sanctions. The Database provides country-specific data, which can be viewed for a single country or comparatively, allowing the user to view the prevalence of different regulations and provisions between countries and regions, as well as customize their search and download the data. It is our intention that the database is used by all who are interested in how money in politics is regulated, but in particular legislators, regulators, political party officials, civil society activists, journalists, researchers, and concerned citizens.
The political finance landscape is increasingly complex and continuously evolving. The database questions were revised to capture this reality in 2012, 2016, 2018, 2020 and most recently in 2022. In 2018, the database also included information concerning the practical implementations of political finance, which made the questions 74 in total. However, systematically tracking and administering practical information proved less reliable, so since 2020, these questions have been removed from the database. The number of research questions is now 58.
Throughout the 2021-22 update, 60 countries have been updated. These include countries that have been updated with 2021 datasets, i.e. featuring changes that took place before the end of December 2021, but also countries that needed to be reviewed to improve the accuracy of the data. The countries updated are done so based on internal reviews and suggestions from regional and national experts. For countries which were not updated in this round, the 2019 data reflect the latest changes. It is likely that we may have missed updates that took place in some countries; if you are aware of any such country, please let us know and we will look into it carefully.
The Political Finance Database is a repository of political finance regulations. As with many areas of public policy, the passing of a law does not automatically bring compliance. Globally, scandals regarding money and politics illustrate that laws are breached, and loopholes exploited. In other situations, governments may ignore or abuse regulations to further their own interests. These facts do not negate the value of collecting the global political finance regulations, it simply means that we cannot assume that these provisions are adhered to or enforced in a manner we might anticipate. Without regulations, there is nothing to adhere to or enforce; these provisions present the natural starting point for any study of money in politics.
Please note that the database is updated based on trusted open sources and to the best of our knowledge. As the world of political finance is one in constant motion, we cannot always guarantee that the data is completely error-free. Users are always welcome to make suggestions or raise concerns regarding the data by sending an email to politicalfinancedb@idea.int.
