Ban on Compensating Family from Campaign Funds

New rules aim to increase transparency in election campaign financing. They prohibit campaign committees from paying immediate family members of a candidate for services. Additionally, all payments to family members must be disclosed, helping citizens assess the fairness of expenditures.
Key points
Campaign committees are prohibited from compensating immediate family members of a candidate for services.
All payments made to immediate family members of a candidate must be separately disclosed in financial reports.
A candidate who knew about a violation will be personally fined, and the committee cannot reimburse them for the penalty.
Immediate family includes spouses, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, and domestic partners and their parents.
