France caps presidential campaign spending at about €16.9 million
Original: Can you guess how much France lets you spend to become President?
French law limits how much a candidate may spend in a presidential election, with a ceiling of roughly €16.9 million for the second round. Candidates who exceed a certain threshold must publicly declare their accounts, which a national commission verifies. The figure draws attention because it is far below the sums typical of United States presidential campaigns.
Why now: Interest in campaign finance rules is rising as people compare the cost of elections in France and the United States.
