Campaign Finance Data on the Internet

Here you’ll find links to campaign finance data for legislative elections in various countries. Not all countries require competitors to disclose campaign income and expenditure and of those that do, not all post such information on the internet. I try to keep these links current, but it is near impossible to do so. Please notify me if a link is dead or if there are sources of data to which I have not linked.
