What campaign statements and reports are required to be filed electronically?
Once a filer has met the filing threshold that mandates electronic filing, all subsequent reports for that filer must be filed electronically and on paper, regardless of the amount or level of activity in any future report. Reports filed pursuant to Chapter 4, Title 9 of the Government Code are covered by this electronic filing requirement. Q: If a filer is subject to electronic filing, will paper copies still be required to be filed with the Secretary of State as well as appropriate local filing officials? Will the original and one copy continue to be required to be filed with the Secretary of State? Yes, although at some point in the future the paper filing requirement will be eliminated at the state level. Q: Are all controlled committees of a state candidate or officeholder included or aggregated together (rather than cumulated individually) to determine whether the candidate has met the electronic filing dollar threshold for cumulative receipts or expenditures? Yes. All disclosure
