(in the aggregate)

The Campaign Finance Act, O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41(k), authorizes the Campaign Finance Commission to raise or lower the maximum contributions limit set forth in the Act by $100 increments based on inflation or deflation as determined by the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Labor.

On March 27, 2023, the Commission approved an increase in the maximum contribution limits as follows:

County and Municipal Level Elected Official and Candidates (O.C.G.A. § 21-5-41(b)
• Three thousand three hundred dollars ($3300.00) for a general election
• One thousand eight hundred dollars ($1800.00) for a general run-off election.

No person, corporation, political committee, or political party shall make, and no candidate or campaign committee shall receive from any such entity, contributions to any candidate for municipal elected office which in the aggregate for an election cycle exceed the amount listed above.

Note: the aggregate of monetary and in-kind contributions from the same contributor must also not exceed the maximum contribution limits authorized by the Act.
