Campaign Finance Reports

House Bill 2626 — House Bill 2626, effective September 1, 2023, amends the Election Code to require a campaign finance report filed with any political subdivision to be made available to the public on the political subdivision's website for a period of five years beginning not later than the 10th business day after the date the report is received.

The political subdivision may redact the address (other than city, state and zip code) of any contributor before posting the report on its website. The report that includes the full address must remain available at the political subdivision's office.

Candidates and officeholders must file semiannual reports (due on January 15 and July 15 each year) unless excepted. In addition, a candidate who has an opponent on the ballot in an election held on a uniform election date must file two pre-election reports (unless the candidate has selected modified reporting).
