Current law
prevents a certified Maine Clean Election Act (MCEA) candidate from using
MCEA funding to pay any expenditures for a recount. This bill allows such a
candidate to use previously distributed MCEA funds for the cost of eligible
recount expenditures if a recount is requested by the candidate's opponent.
To the extent that any MCEA funding is used for recount expenditures going
forward, the amount of unused MCEA funding returned by candidates after an
election is completed will be less than what would have been returned without
this legislation. No estimate is made of the amount of MCEA funding that will
be used for recount expenditures. |
