Sept. 11, 2012 — The Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission is an extension of the state that was created in 1998 through referendum. The intent of the law was to allow those wishing to run for office to fund their campaigns without involving “special interest groups.”
Candidates are required to gather $5 donations — the exact number is based upon the size of the anticipated constituency. Clean elections candidates are also barred from accepting any other campaign donations.
The other criteria for accepting the funding is participating candidates are required to attend one debate unless they are running unopposed. Candidates who are not running with clean elections funding are allowed to join the debate, but their attendance is optional.
