AB 1511: Political Reform Act of 1974: refunding and transferring contributions: voter information guide.

This bill amends certain sections of the Government Code to conform provisions related to the Political Reform Act of 1974. It requires the Secretary of State to prepare a state voter information guide that includes a complete copy of each state measure and information on candidates for federal offices, replacing the requirement for a ballot pamphlet. The bill also updates the rules for refunding and transferring campaign contributions, allowing candidates to retain funds if they do not appear on the ballot at a primary election or special primary election and do not qualify for write-in votes. Additionally, the bill corrects a cross-reference to federal law and declares that it furthers the purposes of the Political Reform Act of 1974.
