When does my organization need to register with the Campaign Spending Commission (“Commission”) as a Noncandidate Committee (“NCC”)?

Posted in

By law, registration with the Commission as a NCC is required within ten (10) days of either event occurring:  1) Receiving contributions in an aggregate amount of more than $500 within a two-year election period; or 2) Making or incurring expenditures in an aggregate amount of more than $500 within a two-year election period.

Registration with the Commission is due within two (2) days if either of the thresholds above is exceeded within thirty (30) days of an election.

Registering with the Commission means electronically filing an Organizational Report in the Noncandidate Committee Filing System (“NCFS”).  In order to access or login to the NCFS, the officers of the noncandidate committee must complete and submit an Electronic Filing Form to obtain a username and password.
