Fiscal Detail and Notes
Increasing the number of qualifying contributions a gubernatorial candidate must receive may reduce the number of candidates receiving clean election funding.  Changing the amount distributed to each gubernatorial candidate to the average spending of those who received more than 5% of the vote previously instead of to the average of all candidates may increase the amount distributed to each candidate.  The net effect on the Maine Clean Elections Fund can not be determined at this time.
