addition, every two years, the secretary of state shall change the dollar values in

B. Based on the results of the elections in the year 2002 or any quadrennial
election thereafter, and within six months after such election, the commission may adopt
rules in a public meeting reallocating funds available to all candidates between the
primary and general elections by selecting a fraction for primary election spending
limits that is between one third and one half of the spending limits for the election as
a whole. For each office, the primary election spending limit shall be modified to be
the sum of the primary and general spending limits times the selected fraction, and the
general election spending limit shall be modified to be the same sum times one less the
selected fraction.
