The Illinois Clean Elections Act creates a voluntary public financing system for candidates running for statewide offices and the General Assembly. It establishes the Illinois Clean Elections Fund, financed by qualifying contributions, tax checkoffs, and other sources. Participating candidates must collect a minimum number of qualifying contributions and adhere to seed money limits. The State Board of Elections certifies candidates and distributes funds based on election type and office. The Act outlines penalties for violations and mandates regular reports on the Fund's administration.
