How long must campaign records be maintained?
All financial records used by a PAC to prepare a campaign financial disclosure statement must be retained for at least two (2) years after the date of election to which the records refer. If investigative procedures or an administrative hearing have been initiated against a political campaign committee, financial records relating to a campaign account must be maintained by the committee until the investigation or administrative hearing has been completed. The Registry of Election Finance and each county election commission shall maintain all reports filed with their respective offices for five (5) years. These records will be available for public inspection and copying.
