Als EUA un ciutadà pot donar $ 2.700 per l’elecció d’un candidat federal, 5.000 $ per any per a un PAC, $ 10.000 per any a un comitè estatal o local del partit i 33.400 $ a l’any per a un partit nacional. Els ciutadans i les empreses poden donar quantitats il·limitades a un Super PAC. Un Súper PAC és alliberat de les lleis de finançament de campanyes tradicionals, sempre que no finança un candidat o campanya o coordinar directament amb una campanya de com gastar les donacions.
