Contributions received in support of the electoral campaigns of holders of elected political offices at the national, regional and local level must be made public with full transparency. Even the names of individual donors must be made accessible through civic access. This is the new rule established by Anac with deliberation number 295/2026. The Anti-Corruption Authority has indicated the distinction between natural persons and legal entities and juridical subjects. For natural persons and sole proprietorships, Anac established with the deliberation, the amount of the contribution made must be published (if exceeding three thousand euros in the year) while, in compliance with the principle of minimisation, the donor's name must be redacted.
For legal entities and organisations, the amount of the contribution made must be indicated (if exceeding three thousand euros in the year), along with the name of the legal entity or organisation. Anac has however clarified that the names of private donors, above the amount set by law, although not immediately accessible through publication, can always be obtained through civic access, and individual administrations will also be required to include this indication on their websites.
