In UK, political donations require identification, reporting
UK mandates political donations' identification and reporting for transparency and accountability.
The regulation of political donations in the UK falls under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA), enacted by the Labour government. This legislation also established the Electoral Commission, akin to India’s Election Commission, overseeing parties' compliance. Unlike India's former Electoral Bond system, the UK law mandates political parties to record and disclose donor details, including names, promoting transparency. The Electoral Commission plays a crucial role in ensuring adherence to these regulations, fostering accountability in political funding. This stands in contrast to India's previous system, emphasizing the UK's commitment to transparent and regulated political financing practices.
