Ending Taxpayer Funding for Presidential Campaigns

This act terminates the use of taxpayer money for presidential election campaigns. Citizens will no longer be able to designate a portion of their income tax for this purpose, and any remaining funds in the special account will be transferred to the general treasury to reduce the national deficit. This changes how presidential elections are funded and may indirectly impact public finances.

Ends the option for taxpayers to designate a portion of their income tax for presidential campaigns starting from 2025.
Abolishes the special fund for presidential campaigns, transferring all remaining money to the general treasury for deficit reduction.
