As of 2015, an individual was allowed to donate up to B. $2,700 directly to a candidate's election campaign.
What amount could be donated to an election?
As of 2015, the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) and its subsequent amendments regulated campaign contributions in the United States.
The maximum amount an individual was allowed to donate directly to a candidate's election campaign, also known as the "individual contribution limit," was $2,700 for the 2015-2016 election cycle.
These contribution limits were put in place to prevent excessive influence of wealthy individuals on the political process and to ensure transparency in campaign financing.
