Bill > HB06026

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 157 of the general statutes by increasing Citizens' Election Program (CEP) grants by $10,000 for participating candidates. The purpose of this increase is to compensate candidates for the additional time and effort required in campaigning due to the implementation of early voting. The Citizens' Election Program is a public campaign financing system that provides grants to qualifying candidates who agree to meet certain fundraising and spending limits, and the bill recognizes that the introduction of early voting will extend the campaign period and potentially increase candidates' campaign-related expenses. By providing extra funding, the bill aims to support candidates in managing the longer campaign timeline and the associated challenges of early voting.
