Clean Elections Act

This bill would create a "Democracy Dollars" program run by the Federal Election Commission. U.S. citizens and nationals age 18 or older could request vouchers, starting at $100 each for House, Senate, and Presidential elections, and give them to candidates who join the program. To join, candidates must raise a set amount, accept only individual contributions up to a limit that falls from $1,000 to $200 over several election cycles, and spend no more than $2,500 in personal funds per election. The bill would also end the current Presidential public financing system and the income tax checkoff that funds it. It would apply to federal elections after December 31, 2028.
