Campaign Finance Reporting Information

The Candidate Campaign Finance Guidelines were published by the Office of the Secretary of State to act as a comprehensive guide to aid candidates in complying with campaign finance disclosure and reporting requirements as outlined in the Campaign Reporting Act and the Campaign Finance Rule, NMAC 1.10.13.  The guide also offers instructions for using the electronic Campaign Finance Information System (CFIS).

Campaign Finance Information System

The Office of the Secretary of State has implemented a new Campaign Finance Information System (CFIS) available for registration, filing, and research.

All current and former candidates, public officials, and political action committees must begin filing campaign finance disclosure reports due AFTER the 2020 Primary Election in the new system.

Access the new CFIS system

Reports filed for the 2020 primary reporting cycle and prior are available for review in the old CFIS system.

For CFIS system resources, including the system User Guide, short demo videos, and a full recorded training session, go to   CFIS System Resources for Candidates, Campaigns and PACs.
