7. Is there a ban on anonymous donations to political parties?
New Zealand
Section 207I(2), Electoral Act 1993, (amended 2023)
If an anonymous party donation is received by a party secretary, the party secretary must, within 20 working days, pay to the Electoral Commission - (a) the amount of the donation, or its value, less $50, if the party secretary believes or has reasonable grounds to suspect the donor is an overseas person; and the donation exceeds $50; or (b) the amount of the donation, or its value, less $1,500 if the party secretary does not have reasonable grounds to suspect the donor is an overseas person; and the donation exceeds $1,500.
There is no ban, but there is a limit on anonymous donations.
