The people enact this title to accomplish the following purposes:
(a) Receipts and expenditures in election campaigns should be fully and truthfully disclosed in order that the voters may be fully informed and improper practices may be inhibited.
(b) The activities of lobbyists should be regulated and their finances disclosed in order that improper influences will not be directed at public officials.
(c) Assets and income of public officials which may be materially affected by their official actions should be disclosed and in appropriate circumstances the officials should be disqualified from acting in order that conflicts of interest may be avoided.
(d) The state ballot pamphlet should be converted into a useful document so that voters will not be entirely dependent on paid advertising for information regarding state measures.
(e) Laws and practices unfairly favoring incumbents should be abolished in order that elections may be conducted more fairly.
(f) Adequate enforcement mechanisms should be provided to public officials and private citizens in order that this title will be vigorously enforced.
(Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 289. Note: This section was added on June 4, 1974, by initiative Prop. 9.)
