Organizations participating in the campaign for Voter-Owned Elections agree to the set of principles expressed in the “Resolution for Voter-Owned, Clean Elections,” which reads in part:
We urge the N.C. General Assembly and Governor to enact a Voter-Owned, Clean Elections program that provides a competitive amount of campaign money from a public fund to state candidates who meet these public-trust qualifications: (a) demonstrate broad support from registered voters, (b) voluntarily agree to strict campaign spending limits, and (c) restrict private fundraising to a limited number of small contributions from registered voters.
