Shall the City Charter be amended to clarify the meaning of the term “election” and to provide that the campaign contribution and expenditure limits shall be modified each year by January 1st instead of with the adoption of the budget?
The City Charter sets campaign contribution and spending rules for candidates for Austin Mayor and City Council. Proposition F would clarify what counts as an "election" under these rules. It would also require campaign contribution and spending limits to be updated each year by January 1, rather than when the City adopts its budget, which is usually in August.

A vote FOR would make these changes to the City's campaign finance rules.

A vote AGAINST would leave the current rules unchanged.
