When a political candidate withdrawals from the race?

Question

What happens to the funds that have been donated to him or her? Are they given directly to the party, or is there an attempt made to return them?

Answer 1

The disbursements of funds and the remaining balance must be reported by a candidate who withdraws from the race.

Answer 2

Generally candidates withdraw from the race because they run out of money.
If they do have left over it is generally donated to charity.
