Are there recordkeeping procedures established by the Registry, which must be used by political campaign committees?
Yes. A single-measure committee is prohibited from commingling personal monies or any other funds with funds maintained in a campaign bank account. Within ten (10) business days of the receipt of a campaign contribution, a committee is required to deposit the contribution into the committee’s campaign bank account. For contributions received from a single source during a reporting period which total more than $100, a committee is required to maintain a listing of the names and addresses of those contributors and the amount and date of the contributions made by those contributors. Additionally, committees must maintain all bank statements and cancelled checks for a campaign bank account. When feasible, a committee should make copies of campaign contribution checks. Campaign bank account reconciliations must be performed by a committee to ensure that the bank account balances with the financial disclosure reports filed by the committee.
