Candidate Committees

Statement of Organization FAQs

  • Box 1: Each candidate is assigned a Committee ID# by our office when they file their Affidavit of Identity.
  • Box 2: If you are a new candidate, or an elected official who is running for a different office, please check “original.” The effective date can be the date that the form is completed.
  • Box 8: You can act as your own committee treasurer. If this is the case, you do not have to repeat your contact information in this field. Instead, put “same” in these boxes for address, phone number, and email.
  • Box 9: Your committee is not required to have a designated record keeper.
  • Box 10: If your committee will be raising or spending more than $1,000 during the year, then check “No” on this form. If you will be raising or spending less than $1,000 during the year, then check “Yes.” All candidates who check “No” will receive reminders via email to submit reports before and after each election. Candidates with a reporting waiver (if you check “Yes”) will not receive these reminders. If you are approaching the $1,000 limit and wish to remove the reporting waiver, please contact our office or submit an amended Statement of Organization.
  • Box 11: Please list your bank here. If you do not have a campaign account open, please list the bank that you are planning to use.
  • Box 12: If you are acting as your own treasurer, you only have to sign on the candidate line. If you have another individual acting as the committee’s treasurer, then both signatures are required.
