All candidates, including those who have not chosen to take part in the Campaign Finance Program, will file required disclosure statements of their campaigns’ financial activity from May 12 through July 11, 2009 on Wednesday, July 15.
With two months left before the 2009 primary elections, there are 277 active candidates registered with the Campaign Finance Board. Since the May filing date, 49 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.
The last day for candidates to join the Campaign Finance Program and become eligible to qualify for public matching funds was June 10, 2009. There are 252 candidates who opted to participate in the Program for the 2009 elections.
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 July 15).
As disclosures are filed on July 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.
Most 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.
Information on the contribution and spending limits in effect for the 2009 election can be found here.
