What forms do I need to start a campaign comittee?
• Form 501 – Candidate Intention Statement: Before any contributions are solicited or received, and before any campaign expenditures are made from personal funds, candidates must file Form 501. Candidates for local offices file this form with the City Clerk. The Form 501 is considered filed when it is placed in the mail. The date of the postmark is the date filed. • Form 410 – Statement of Organization: The original Form 410 and one copy are filed with the Secretary of State within 10 days of receiving $1,000 or more. Candidates for local office and committees formed to support or oppose candidates for local offices also must file a copy of the Form 410 with the City Clerk.
