Limited Public Financing Program

In November 2022, Oakland voters approved Measure W, the Oakland Fair Elections Act, which replaced the Limited Public Financing Act with an all new public campaign financing program effective for the 2024 election. The Limited Public Financing Act (LPF) provided Oakland District City Council candidates with some public funds by reimbursement for eligible campaign expenses. The program goal was to help ensure that all individuals have a fair and equal opportunity to participate in the elective and governmental process.
