How Do I Add an Election?
Elections are an important part of any financial transaction, as well as Compliance and reporting. Without them, you’ll be unable to perform various important tasks, such as adding new transactions or setting up your Filer for compliance reports.
1. Navigate to Lists, then to Elections
2. At the bottom of the screen, click Add Election
3. Enter the Election Date and select an Election Type
If there is no election in any given calendar year, use Non-Election as the Election Type. Transactions using Non-Election will then aggregate based on the year as opposed to an election cycle.
Accepting Voluntary Limits
If your candidate is in California and accepting the Voluntary Expenditure Limits, click the checkbox next to Accepting Voluntary Limits. This lets the system know this special case applies to reporting for the election you’re creating.
