EU Raises Concern Over Campaign Financing Transparency and Impact of Vote-Buying
The European Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) report raises concerns about the lack of transparency and oversight in Maldivian campaign finance, noting that the legal framework is dispersed across the Elections (General) Act, Political Parties Act and Presidential Election Act. It flags an unreasonably high spending cap of MVR 2,000 per eligible voter (about 564.79 million rufiyaa), weak penalties and enforcement, and the impact of vote-buying, recommending legal reform, a strengthened Elections Commission of Maldives and nationwide civic education.
