Public finance plays a crucial role in the electoral process by providing funding for campaign activities, which can impact election outcomes. Adequate financing enables candidates to reach voters, disseminate their messages, and engage in effective campaigning. Public finance mechanisms, such as matching funds or subsidies, aim to level the playing field among candidates, reducing reliance on wealthy donors and special interests. Thus, public finance can enhance the democratic process by promoting equity in electoral competition and increasing voter access to information about candidates and issues.
