A Note For Candidates and Political Committees

  • Political Action Committees (PACs)
  • State candidates
This includes Statewide offices, legislators, county commissioners, county sheriffs, county prosecuting attorneys, and Political Action Committees (PACs). All other stakeholders will continue to file using the old system.

Idaho Code §67-6623(g) requires the online submission of all Campaign Finance Reports to the Secretary of State’s Office. The Secretary of State may, on an individual basis, issue exemptions of the online filing requirement to those that face hardship in submitting these documents in an online format. Forms must be submitted by the person requesting the exemption.

System Upgrade In Progress

Campaign Finance, Lobbyist Reporting, and Online Voter Tools are expected to be offline from April 9th at 5:00 p.m. MDT, through April 12th at 8:00 a.m. MDT to complete a system upgrade.

Per Idaho Code 67-6607, campaign finance is reported monthly during a campaign’s election year. The deadline for the March report falls on Saturday, April 10th. Due to the interruption caused by this upgrade, political treasurers will be allowed to file the March report until 11:59 p.m. MDT on Monday, April 12th.

While we do our best to ensure compliance with all deadlines in statute, the timing of this release is critical to ensure minimal (or no) impact to the May election cycle. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
