Proposal Calls For Candidates To File More Reports
Political candidates would file additional campaign finance reports before Election Day, under a proposal that cleared a House elections committee on Tuesday.
All candidates would have to file reports showing their campaign donors 60 days before the general election under the proposal. Candidates for statewide office would also have to file a 60-day pre-election financial report in primary elections.
Currently, candidates are required to file reports about one month and two weeks before the election.
Secretary of State Trey Grayson endorsed the proposal, which would also require candidates who raise more than $25,000 to file their reports electronically.
