summary

This resolution establishes a public campaign financing system for ASUC elections, directing the ASUC to reimburse 50% of eligible campaign expenses for Senate and Executive candidates, up to $100 and $250 respectively. It aims to reduce financial barriers for students, particularly low-income and first-generation individuals, ensuring more equitable access to running for ASUC office. The resolution allocates no less than $5,000 annually to a new "Public Campaign Financing Fund" starting in the FY 2026-2027 budget year and amends ASUC Bylaws 4204, 2151, and 2150 to implement these changes.
