Political financing includes:
- Financing itself: political contributions, political party membership, loans, fundraising, and allowances
- Election expenses related to an election as well as the current expenses of a political entity
- Someone used your name to make a contribution: you made the contribution but were reimbursed (your name was used without your consent)
- You witnessed an undeclared election expense
