§ 5-12 Court Ordered Rerun Elections.
(a) No contributions may be accepted until court contest has begun. A candidate may not accept contributions for a court-ordered rerun election until a complaint has been filed in a court of competent jurisdiction concerning the canvass of returns or the conduct of the election. (b) Where rerun election is canceled, contributions must be reasonably related to expenditures. If a rerun election is ordered by a court but subsequently canceled, a candidate who would have been on the ballot has the burden of demonstrating that any portion of contributions raised may be reasonably attributed to expenses incurred for the rerun election before its cancellation.
