The Election Commission has set the maximum extent (limit) of expenditure by political parties or candidates for the election of House of Representatives and the Province Assembly. The Commission has determined the extent of expenditure based on the number of voters, number of polling stations and the area of ​​the constituency in accordance with the existing law. As the political parties suggested the EC not to set the same limit of election expenses for all constituencies, the Commission has decided to vary the expenditure limit.

While determining the limit, 60 percent was allocated for the number of voters in the respective constituencies, 20 percent for the number of polling stations and another 20 percent for the area occupied by the respective constituencies.

In the election of the House of Representatives for first past the post type, the limit of election expenses in the constituencies 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8 of Kathmandu is Rs 2.5m. Similarly, Rs 2.7m for 17 constituencies, Rs 2.9m for 65 constituencies, Rs 3.1m for 52 constituencies and Rs 3.3m in 26 constituencies is fixed by the EC.  Similarly, in the election of the Province Assembly for first past the post type, the extent of election expenditure is the mentioned Rs 1.5m for 70 constituencies, Rs 1.7m for 143 constituencies, Rs 1.9m for 56 constituencies, Rs 2.1m for 29 constituencies and Rs 2.3m for 32 constituencies.  Shaligram Sharma Poudel, the spokesperson of the Commission, in a statement, said that the expenses limit in the election of the members of the House of Representatives for the proportional representation type will be Rs 200,000 per candidate. For the proportional representation type of the Provincial Assembly, Rs 150,000 per candidate is set.  The political parties or candidates participating in the election will be allowed to spend the specified amount on electoral roll purchase, vehicles, publicity material, transportation, conference, interaction, print and electronic media (including social media), office operation and representative mobilization.
