14. Is there a limit on the amount a donor can contribute to a political party during a non-election specific period?

 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"

Section 45 of the National Parliament Electoral Provisions Act [Cap 87] states that:
(1) Each candidate shall submit to the Returning Officer within one month of the declaration of the result of the election a statement of account, specifying all expenses incurred by him in his election campaign.
(2) If any expenses referred to in subsection (1) amount, in the case of any individual candidate to more than seven thousand dollars, that candidate shall be guilty of an offense and liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or to both such fine and such imprisonment.

The expenditure limit was lifted in the National Parliament Electoral Provisions (Amendment) Act 1997 to SI$50,000 (US$7,076) for any one candidate.

 The Solomon Islands Political Parties Integrity Act 2014 does not limit the amount that can be contributed to a political party over a given period of time (not election specific). Section 45 of the National Parliament Electoral Provisions Act [Cap 87] does limit candidate election expenditure to $50,000 thereby providing an indirect method of capping donations, but only during the election period.
