Tony · Accepted Answer

A candidate who loses an election may use campaign funds for any of the authorized expenditures or return funds to contributors until one (1) year from the date of the election for which campaign funds were received. Funds not returned to contributors shall escheat to the Hawaii Election Campaign Fund.

A candidate who is elected to office may use campaign funds for any of the eight (8) authorized expenditures or return funds to contributors until four (4) years from the date of the election for which campaign funds were received. Funds not returned to contributors shall escheat to the Hawaii Election Campaign Fund.

Once the surplus is spent, you may want to consider terminating your registration with the Commission so that your committee will no longer have to file disclosure reports. Otherwise, you are required to continue filing disclosure reports with the Commission.
