PART 100_SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS (2 U.S.C. 431)--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart E_Exceptions to Expenditures
 
Sec. 100.140  Slate cards and sample ballots.

    The payment by a State or local committee of a political party of 
the costs of preparation, display, or mailing or other distribution 
incurred by such committee with respect to a printed slate card, sample 
ballot, palm card, or other printed listing(s) of three or more 
candidates for any public office for which an election is held in the 
State in which the committee is organized is not an expenditure. The 
payment of the portion of such costs allocable to Federal candidates 
must be made from funds subject to the limitations and prohibitions of 
the Act. If made by a political party committee, such payments shall be 
reported by that committee as disbursements, but need not be allocated 
in committee reports to specific candidates. This exemption shall not 
apply to costs incurred by such a committee with respect to the 
preparation and display of listings made on broadcasting stations, or in 
newspapers, magazines, and similar types of general public political 
advertising such as billboards. But see 11 CFR 100.24, 104.17(a), and 
part 300, subpart B for exempt activities that also constitute Federal 
election activity.
