My noncandidate committee has a new chairperson and/or treasurer but the Noncandidate Committee Filing System (“NCFS”) is not letting me change the chairperson’s or treasurer’s name in my Organizational Report. Why not?

You will not be able to change the name of the chairperson or treasurer from the NCFS.  If there is a change in the chairperson or treasurer, they must each complete and submit a new Noncandidate Committee Electronic Filing Form if they are separate individuals; otherwise, only one form is necessary if they are the same person.  The Commission will change the name(s) of your new chairperson and/or treasurer.  Your committee will then be responsible for updating their contact information (i.e., phone number, email address, and mailing address) and filing an amended Organizational Report in the Noncandidate Committee Filing System to finalize the change.  An amended Organizational Report must be filed within ten (10) calendar days after the change is brought to the attention of the committee chairperson or treasurer.  Failure to do so will result in a minimum fine of $1,000 per violation.  The Commission will also publish the noncandidate committee’s name on its website for failing to amend the Organizational Report within the time required.
