Information on expenses of political parties/candidates allows voters to make better educated decisions at the polls and this can help hold candidates and parties accountable to the electorate. Disclosure of information about income and spending by political parties and candidates is nowadays seen as a critically important component of a democratic campaign and party finance regime. Disclosure may help contributes to an overall transparency of the electoral process, it may serve as a barrier to excessive campaign spending, contribute to making politicians accountable to voters, and also emerge as an obstacle to corruption.
