Michael Bissett published Candidate’s Financial Disclosure Guide in Resources 2022-03-17 08:03:32 -0500
Candidate’s Financial Disclosure Guide
The Illinois State Board of Elections provides a very good guide to campaign disclosure, which you can find here!
Two important takeaways that all campaigns should know:
- Any committee that makes an expenditure for any kind of communication directed at voters and mentioning the name of a candidate in the next upcoming election must ensure that the communication clearly identifies the committee as having paid for it. This disclosure is not required if the item is too small to contain it (like a button).
Using the phrase "Paid for by Committee Name" on all your material - such as signs, walk pieces, websites, flyers, etc. - will satisfy this requirement.
- All political committees must include specific language on all literature and advertisements that solicit funds. If you are asking for donations on a fundraiser flyer, on a fundraising email or letter, or have a donate button in an email or on your website, the following must be included: “A copy of our report filed with the State Board of Elections is (or will be) available on the Board’s official website (www.elections.il.gov) or for purchase from the State Board of Elections, Springfield, Illinois.”
The above applies even if you have not reached the $5,000 raised or spent level that requires you to report to the Illinois State Board of Elections.
- Any committee that makes an expenditure for any kind of communication directed at voters and mentioning the name of a candidate in the next upcoming election must ensure that the communication clearly identifies the committee as having paid for it.
