Campaign Finance Law
This document provides an overview of state campaign finance law and reporting requirements.

Campaign Finance Report (Transactions Exceeding $250.00)
A Campaign Finance Report must be filed with Voter Services by a candidate or candidate-authorized committee that receives, expends, or incurs more than $250.00 to influence the outcome of an election during a reporting period.

Campaign Finance Statement (Transactions Not to Exceed $250.00)
A Campaign Finance Statement may be filed with Voter Services in lieu of a full report if the amount of contributions received, the amount of money expended, and the liabilities incurred by a candidate or candidate-authorized committee each did not exceed $250.00 during a reporting period.

Political Committee Registration Statement
A completed Political Committee Registration Statement must be filed with Voter Services in order to register a new political committee or to amend the original registration when the committee appoints a new chairperson or treasurer, or to update any other required information.

Authorization for a Political Committee To Receive Funds On Behalf Of A Candidate
A completed Authorization form must be filed with Voter Services in order to authorize the treasurer of a registered political committee to receive contributions and make expenditures on behalf of a candidate.

24-Hour Reporting Form
A 24-Hour Reporting Form must be filed with Voter Services by a candidate or candidate-authorized committee to report a contribution of $500.00 or more received during the 24-hour reporting period. Political Action Committees (PACs), Independent Expenditure Committees (IECs), and lobbyists are not required to file 24-hour reports.

Independent Expenditure Reporting Form
An Independent Expenditure Reporting Form must be filed by an individual who makes an independent expenditure (defined as an expenditure not in cooperation or consultation with any candidate or candidate's political committee) in excess of $100.00 in the aggregate in a calendar year to influence the outcome of an election or ballot question. The form must also be used to report independent expenditures of $500.00 or more that are made during the 24-hour reporting period. Independent expenditures are subject to the same reporting periods and filing deadlines as campaign finance reports.
