IFES, Lebanon’s 2017 Parliamentary Election Law 

"Article 59 requires each candidate and candidate list to provide the details of an electoral campaign bank account opened at a bank in Lebanon59 at the time of nomination or registration (para.[1]), and are deemed to have waived their right to bank secrecy concerning that account (para.[2]). All campaign contributions and election expenses must be received and paid through this account (para.[3]), using procedures established by the candidate or list, provided that a check must be used for any amount above one million Lebanese Pounds (para.[4]); this amount is about USD $660). Candidates and lists must also provide the Commission with the name of their auditor with their nomination or registration applications (para.[5]). Where “for reasons beyond their control” a candidate or list cannot open or use a bank account, funds for that election campaign must be deposited “in a public fund established by the Ministry of Finance, which shall replace the bank account in all aspects” (para.[6])"
