electioneering communication
noun1 legal term for advertisements broadcast close to an election that refer to a candidate for office; the specifics of what ads qualify, as well as any disclosure requirements, can vary depending on whether the contest is at the federal, state or local level
Right now, the law requires campaigns to file what’s called an electioneering communication report within 24 hours of signing a contract for an advertisement.— Honolulu Civil Beat
The ad did not directly state support for or opposition to Fox’s gubernatorial bid, and so falls into the category of 'electioneering communication,' a type of paid communication defined by state statute as depicting a particular candidate or referencing a candidate, political party or ballot issue within 60 days of the initiation of voting in an election.— Montana Free Press
