- File a Declaration of Intent (DOI) before accepting or expending any campaign funds. A DOI must be submitted electronically here.
- What if I have a Campaign Committee?
- If you have designated someone to file your reports or if anyone is collecting or expending your contributions, you have a campaign committee. File a Form RC for a Candidates Campaign Committee here.
- The term “campaign committee” as it relates to the candidate means the candidate, person(s) or committee which accepts contributions or makes expenditures for the purpose of bringing about the nomination or election of an individual to any elected office. If a candidate has a campaign committee, the name and address of the committee, its chairperson, treasurer and the candidate must be registered with the Commission prior to accepting any contributions.
- One person may serve as both chairperson and treasurer.
- No contributions may be accepted at any time there is a vacancy in either the position of chairperson or treasurer.
- No candidate may have more than one campaign committee.
- Registration Form for a Candidate’s Campaign Committee is filed with the Commission.
- Can I Accept Money For Multiple Elections? If you are accepting contributions for all the elections within an election cycle (i.e. primary, primary runoff, general and general runoff), you must first file the form Choosing Option of Separate Accounting, which can be selected when registering a DOI. A candidate who wishes to accept contributions for more than one election at a time shall separately account for such campaign contributions and shall file an “Option to Choose Separate Accounting” form with the Commission prior to accepting contributions for any election other than the candidate’s next upcoming election. A candidate is only required to file one Form COOSA which shall be utilized for all subsequent elections to the same office, regardless of whether an election occurs in a new election cycle
