Section 100.90  Provision Circumvention

a)         Reference:  This Section interprets or applies Section 9-26 of the Election Code.

b)         The State Board of Elections will view any attempt to circumvent the clear intentions of the Act by means of subterfuge as violations of the Act.

c)         Examples of such circumvention would be:

1)         A person or whoever organizes ten separate committees and then directs the treasurers of those committees not to accept or expend more than $3000;

2)         A candidate sets up multiple committees for the primary purpose of avoiding the itemization requirements of the Act;

3)         A person or whoever organizes a committee to elect Joe Doe for State Senator.  He then terminates the committee and organizes a new committee called the All Illinois Committee to Elect Joe Doe for State Senator and has as his primary purpose the intent to raise campaign funds in this manner to avoid disclosure of contributors.
