New Campaign Coordination Rules: Ending Hidden Influences

This act aims to increase transparency in election campaign financing. It introduces new rules that clearly define when campaign expenditures are considered coordinated with a candidate or political party. This will give citizens a clearer picture of who is truly influencing political messages, which can help in making more informed voting decisions.
Key points
Campaign expenditures will be considered coordinated if they are materially consistent with instructions or suggestions from a candidate or party, even if not public.
The Election Commission will consider factors such as target audience, suggested communication methods, or the use of specific content from the candidate.
The goal is to limit hidden influence on elections and increase accountability for disseminated information.
