Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., on Wednesday rolled out a plan to give voters up to $600 worth of vouchers to donate to federal candidates for office. The vouchers, dubbed "Democracy Dollars," would provide eligible voters $100 each to donate in primary elections, and $100 in general elections to presidential, House and Senate candidates. Candidates accepting any of the money would have to forgo donations large than $200 per donor, according to her "Clean Elections Plan," which was posted to Medium.

Outside political groups aren’t subject to contribution limits although Gillibrand and other Democratic 2020 presidential candidates have vowed not to take donations from such groups anyway.
