relative to campaign finance.

This bill updates the definitions used in New Hampshire's campaign finance laws to clarify who and what counts as a candidate, political committee, and political advertisement. It expands the scope of "expenditures" to include various activities like research, data analytics, and childcare costs, while explicitly excluding non-campaign travel and certain non-partisan voter registration efforts. The legislation also formally defines "push-polling" as communications that ask questions about a candidate's character or record in a way that looks like a survey, aiming to provide clearer rules for election spending and communication.
