Election Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan, 2003 (as amended 2019). https://www.msk.gov.az/uploads/qanunvericilik/Election-code_2020.pdf
The Election Code legally lists the sources of candidates' funds in which taking loan is not included.
The sources of income are determined by ECode as follows: 1. Special election fund and voluntary donations during the Milli Majlis and Presidential elections (Art. 156.2 and 191.2); 2. During municipality elections special election fund, voluntary donations, and the funds allocated by municipalities in equal amounts to election funds of candidates nominated within their territory (Art. 225.1 and 3).
