Montgomery County's program of providing the option of public financing for candidates in County elections is one of the most foremost programs of its kind in Maryland. The Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) has been designated by the County Executive as the place for candidates or residents to direct their questions about the program of matching funds. The Public Election Fund Liaison position was established by the County Council to assist interested members of the public, applicant candidates, certified candidates and participating candidates with programmatic information that is key to understanding the program.
