3. Maximum campaign expenditures shall apply to any goods and services purchased for campaign purposes regardless of the time of purchase or provision of service.
Political entities are not permitted to surpass the campaign expenditure limit established by the Central Election Commission (CEC).

These expenditure limits are applicable to each item and service used for campaign purposes, regardless of when the purchase or service provision occurs.
