Independent Expenditures Filing Deadlines
2021 Citywide Elections
All independent spenders must file disclosure statements with the CFB once their spending reaches a certain threshold.
For more information on this threshold, please consult the Independent Spender Guide.
No statement is required if there is no reportable activity during a disclosure period.
A “daily disclosure” statement is due within 24 hours of engaging in reportable activity during the two weeks before the primary and general elections.
