Abstract

Competitive elections are the major element of contemporary representative democracy (Schumpeter, 1942) and they come at a cost. Hence, the importance of electoral financing is an issue that has attracted increasing attention from political scientists (Mutch, 2016; Norris and van Es, 2016; Stratmann, 2005). With regard to electoral financing sources, the key question is to define the types of resources allowed (private resources, public resources or both) and the relative weight assigned to each (Bourdoukan, 2009).
