Important Campaign Finance Filing Information

June 30, 2020 Secretary of State Directive 2020-03: Campaign Finance Portal C1 Filings for County, City, and Local District Offices Sought

All campaign finance filings for all taxing districts in the county now have to be done at the Secretary of State’s website portal. The County Clerk then inspects all filings for—all Taxing Districts—county, city, and school district candidates/officeholders.

With the 2020 campaign finance law changes, officeholders and candidates will now need to file their C-1 and campaign finance reports on the Secretary of State’s website portal. If this is an election year for a candidate, monthly financial reports are due on the 10th of every month of that election year. Here is the link to sign up.
