Campaign Finance Filing Options
**Please click on the name of the Statement below that you would like to file. Please read the description of each statement to be sure that you are making the correct filing and that you meet the requirements to make that type of filing. If you wish to cancel, click on the link below to return to the New York State Board of Elections Home Page.
In order to qualify to file an In-Lieu-Of Statement, you must be a candidate and/or an authorized committee solely supporting one candidate or a committee involved solely in promoting the success or defeat of a ballot proposal, and at the close of the applicable reporting period, neither the total receipts nor the total expenditures of the campaign have exceeded $1,000. If you have previously filed an In-Lieu-Of Statement and find that you now exceed this $1,000 threshold, you must file an itemized report covering all transactions since the beginning of the campaign. Once an itemized report is required, you may not file an In-Lieu-Of Statement for any future reporting period.
In order to qualify to file a No Activity Statement, there cannot have been any activity (i.e., receipts and/or expenditures, such as interest, dividends and bank charges) during the reporting period and, therefore, there are no transactions to report.
A 24 Hour Notice is required for any contribution or loan over $1,000 whose transaction date falls between the cut off date of the 11 Day Pre Election Report and the date of the Election. NOTE: This requirement applies to all Primary, General and Special Elections. You still must include these transactions on the post election filing.
The State Board of Elections assumes that all active filers are supporting candidates for election. Therefore, the Board expects to receive election reports from them for the Primary and/or General Election unless otherwise notified through receipt of a Notice of Inactive Status. In Order to qualify to file a Notice of Inactive Status for the Primary and/or General Election, a filer cannot support, in any way, any candidate or political committee which is a participant in the particular election(s) in which the filer seeks inactive status.
**On line filing of Itemized Statements or any statements other than those listed above is not available at this time.
