Campaign funding is one of the determining factors for victory in the 2019 election competition. Transparency and accountability in campaign finance reports greatly determine the integrity of elections in Indonesia. Currently, regulations limiting campaign funds related to income have proven unable to limit them from donors with binding interests. Problem Formulation (1) What are the steps taken in optimizing campaign fund management in Law Number 7 of 2017 to avoid money politics and corrupt political investments? (2) What are the legal consequences if managing campaign funds in Indonesia is not clean and transparent? Normative juridical research methods are used by examining library materials. Primary legal materials are, Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections which regulates campaign funds in elections, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. This research produces the conclusion (1) that it is necessary to emphasize restrictions on campaign funds originating from individuals, confirm the composition of contributors with a reasonable ratio, reformulate sanctions for excess campaign funds, and implement investigative audits.
