This program provides vouchers, called democracy dollars, to eligible individuals who can then direct these vouchers to participating candidates of their choice. The bill sets specific amounts for different offices, such as $100 for Congressional candidates and $1,000 for Presidential candidates. Democracy dollars can only be used for authorized campaign expenditures.
