NY State Election Law requires candidates and their political committees to file Financial Disclosure Statements.
The New York State Board of Elections receives all filings of state parties and all political committees supporting candidates for Local and State offices. In addition, all State Senate and Assembly candidates are required to file their disclosure with the State Board even I if it is solely contained within a single county. The state further requires that these filings are done in an electronic format created by software available on their web site. For information on how to set up those campaign committees, forms and state software or to see information about their filings, click here
| PLEASE NOTE: Effective September 2, 2009, filers that are required to file with NYSBOE and who actually do so, will not have to make a duplicate filing with the Nassau County Board of Elections. However, filers are still obligated to register their committees
with the Nassau County Board of Elections (forms available below). The NYSBOE periodic filings will satisfy their local filing obligation. For more information, click here |
Although not required, the Nassau County Board of Elections will continue to accept paper filings of party, county, town and legislative district committees and all political committees supporting candidates for offices contained wholly within Nassau County or parts thereof: county wide, city, towns and county legislature. Although these filings are paper filings, the state software can be used to print the schedules within the filings as long as an original cover, status and summary pages are attached.
Information on how to set up campaign committees can be obtained by calling (516) 571-2411, sending us an email at ncboe@nassaucountyny.gov or visiting us at 240 Old Country Road (5th flr.) in Mineola. Campaign committees may be required to file with the IRS. For further information, click here.
