"Each election agent is responsible for keeping account books, paying the election expenses, and submitting Form 20 on behalf of the candidate.

A party is entitled to spend up to 10,000,000 MMK (ten million kyat) per candidate. However, the total campaign expenses of a candidate (including support received by the political party who has nominated the candidate + candidate’s own funds + donations) cannot exceed 10,000,000 MMK (ten million kyat)."
