In paragraph of this subsection, the reference to material that
contains "text, graphics, or other images" is substituted for the former
reference to "... or any other printed, multigraphed, photographed,
typewritten, written matter or statement or any matter or statement
which may be copied by any device or method or which may hereafter be
used for making copies of printed or written matter in any form whatever
..." for brevity and clarity.
Also in paragraph (1)(i) of this subsection, the former list of examples of
campaign materials, "pamphlet, circular, card,... nail files, [and] balloons,"
is deleted as unnecessary in light of the comprehensive reference to "any
material that ... contains text, graphics, or other images".
In paragraph (1)(ii) of this subsection, the former phrase "for public or
party office" is deleted as included in the definition of "candidate".
Also in paragraph (1)(ii) of this subsection, the term "question" is
substituted for the former reference to a "proposition" for consistency with
terminology used elsewhere in this article.
In paragraph (2)(ii) of this subsection, the phrase "an oral commercial
campaign advertisement" is added for accuracy, clarity, and consistency
with § 13-401 of this article.
[(i)] (L) (1) "Candidate" means an individual who files a certificate of
candidacy for a public or party office.
(2) "Candidate" includes:
(i) An incumbent judge of the Court of Appeals or Court of Special
Appeals at an election for continuance in office; and
(ii) An individual, prior to that individual filing a certificate of
candidacy, if a [filing under § 13-201 or § 13-202 of this article] CAMPAIGN FINANCE
ENTITY has been [made] ESTABLISHED on behalf of that individual.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 33, § l-101(i).
The reference to the establishment of a "campaign finance entity" is
substituted for the former reference to making a "filing" under Title 13 of
this article for clarity and consistency with terminology used throughout
this article.
[(j)] (M) (1) "Contest" means:
(i) The aggregate of candidates who run against each other or
among themselves for nomination for, or election to, an office or multiple offices of the
same category; or
(ii) The positive and negative voting options for a question
submitted to the voters.
