Yesterday was the final day of the eighth reporting period for the 2009 citywide elections. All candidates, including those who do not choose to take part in the Campaign Finance Program, will file required disclosure statements of their campaigns’ financial activity from March 12 through May 11, 2009 on Friday, May 15.
With four months left before the 2009 primary elections, there are 264 active candidates registered with the Campaign Finance Board. Since the March 16 filing date, 54 candidates have registered with the CFB for the 2009 citywide elections. A complete list of 2009 candidates is available here. This list reflects the number of candidates registered with the CFB as of today.
FILING DAY DETAILS
Candidates may deliver statements to the CFB by hand, submit their filings electronically, or send the materials by mail (as long as mailed submissions are postmarked by May 15).
As disclosures are filed on May 15, the CFB will update its website with the latest financial information frequently during the day. A press advisory will be issued to alert interested parties each time that new information is posted to the website.
Financial information for campaign filers may be found in two places:
- The CFB’s campaign finance summary page contains summary financial information for all candidates who file with the CFB.
- Detailed information about individual transactions can be found in the CFB’s newly-redesigned searchable online database.
CERTIFICATION DEADLINE
The last day for candidates to join the Campaign Finance Program is June 10, 2009. 38 candidates have already certified. June 10 is also the deadline for candidates to submit their information to be printed in the 2009 Voter Guide.
Information on the contribution and spending limits in effect for the 2009 election can be found here.
