Guidelines Set by Secretary of State for Independent Expenditures

Persons, groups of persons and political committees may support candidates covered by the Sunshine Law by making independent expenditures on their behalf. Independent expenditures may be made without limit since they do not count against the contribution limits established by Section 67-6610A, Idaho Code.

This outline defines the term independent expenditure and explains reporting and other requirements involved in making independent expenditures.

If you have any questions after reading this outline, please call the Secretary of State’s office at (208)334-2852.
