Is a candidate required to file a campaign disclosure report, even if no funds have been accepted or spent?
A. Yes, once candidacy is declared, either through filing a Declaration of Intention to Accept Campaign Contributions with the designated filing officer (the Municipal Clerk) or upon qualifying as a candidate during the designated qualifying period, there is a requirement that each candidate files a Campaign Contribution Disclosure Report with the designated filing officer (the Municipal Clerk) at designated intervals, whether funds have been accepted or not.
