Crypto Donations Face Ban As Canada Steps Up Election Security Measures

Canada's "Strong and Free Elections Act" proposes a ban on cryptocurrency, money order, and prepaid card donations to political parties and third-party groups, citing traceability concerns and foreign interference risks. Penalties include fines up to $25,000 for individuals and $100,000 for corporations, plus repayment of up to double the contribution amount. The bill also targets AI-generated deepfakes that mislead voters. This follows a failed 2024 attempt and a recommendation from Canada’s chief electoral officer. The UK action the same day reflects broader Western democratic concerns about anonymous digital payments in elections.
