Yes. The Commission hears cases referred from filing officers where a candidate or committee has failed to file a report or statement, including campaign reports, annual reports, office account reports, and statements appointing a registered agent. Infrequently, the Commission hears appeals from committees that have been dissolved by its filing officer, from candidates who the Division of Elections found ineligible to receive public financing, and from members of county canvassing boards appealing fines imposed by the Department of State for late certification of election results.
