clean elections act; repeal
HCR 2009 puts before voters the repeal of the Citizens Clean Elections Act.
The Citizens Clean Elections Act was added by Proposition 200, section one, an initiative measure, approved by election on November 23, 1998, and effective on November 23, 1998.
A candidate may run as candidate under the Citizens Clean Elections Act by complying with certain reporting requirements set forth in statute. Such a candidate is then entitled to monies paid from the citizens clean election fund to use during a campaign for elected office.
The Act sets forth certain spending limits on candidates for elected office, as well as civil and criminal penalties for violation of the article.
