Amended Regulation – Elimination of Duplicate Filings for Certain Local Filers

After submitting electronic reports, please visit the Board’s website to confirm receipt and accuracy of content. For electronic filers: “Filing Year” is the year the report is due to be filed. Primary and General Election Reports are required from all filers UNLESS a Notice of Inactive Status (CF-20) is filed.

The CF-20 may be submitted at the Board’s website (click Campaign Finance; Filing Options; Notice of Inactive Status). However, Candidates who are on the ballot in the current election year (and their related Committees, or any other Committees supporting or opposing those Candidates) are NOT qualified to file a Notice of Inactive Status in substitution for the required Election Reports. Please note that Committees that file a Notice of Inactive Status must still file Periodic Reports.
