Filing Deadline Reminder:
Pre-General Campaign Finance Reports are due in office by 4 pm on 10/23/2025.
This report should reflect all activity from (at least) 06/07/2025 – 10/15/2025.
All reports must be physically received at the board office or filed with the Secretary of State’s office to meet the filing deadline requirements.
A campaign committee must file a pre-election report by 4 p.m. on the 12th day before an election (primary, general, or special) if it spent or received $1,000 or more between the time the last report was filed and the 20th day before the election, if the candidate appears on the ballot at that election. The $1,000 threshold includes monetary and in-kind contributions, along with the value of any new loans received during the reporting period.
If you are unsure if a report is required for your committee, please call the office.
