The Fourth Appellate District affirmed a judgment. The court held that, under Elections Code §13305, a political committee could include both a one-page electioneering letter regarding local and state issues and a request for contributions in its official mailing of the sample primary election ballot to its party members.
Elections Code §13305 permits a county central committee of a qualified political party to include a party contributor envelope or a one-page letter in the official mailing of the sample ballot sent to registered members of its own party in a direct primary election, provided that the central committee (1) pays all associated expenses, (2) does not include words critical of another political party, (3) provides a space for the name and address of the contributor, and (4) informs the contributor how contributions will be spent.
