§ 18435.5. Slate Mailer Requirements.
(a) Section 84305.5 requires a slate mailer to identify the slate mailer organization or committee sending the slate mailer, and to designate by an asterisk (*) each candidate and each ballot measure supported or opposed in a slate mailer for which payment of $100 or more has been received by the organization or committee (either from the candidate, ballot measure committee, or from any other person “at the behest” of a candidate or ballot measure committee as defined in Regulation 18225.7).
(b) To ensure that it is easily legible, the Notice to Voters required by Section 84305.5 shall appear with a reasonable degree of color contrast between the background and the statement and must appear on a plain background, not superimposed over an illustration or a patterned background. Examples of a reasonable degree of color contrast that would meet the standard required by Section 84305.5 are when the diclosure is printed in black text on a white background or a similar degree of color contrast between the background and the text of the disclosure.
(3) For an electronic slate mailer that is a series of static images or a video that is a sequence of images, all disclosures required by Section 84305.5 may appear on the frame preceding or following the video or series of static images, except each candidate or ballot measure that has paid to appear on the slate mailer must be designated with the asterisk (*) required by Section 84305.5(a)(4) immediately following the name of the candidate, or the name or number and position advocated on the ballot measure where the designation appears in the slate listing of candidates and measures. If there is no slate listing, the designation shall appear at least once in at least 8-point boldface type, immediately following the name of the candidate, or the name or number and position advocated on the ballot measure.
