Disclosure Form - EFS Paper Version
CF-01 - Campaign Financial Disclosure Report ( pdf 1.3MB)
This form is no longer used by filers to submit itemized campaign financial disclosure reports, as all filers are now required to submit reports electronically via the EFS Web Application, unless a waiver has been granted by the NYSBOE (EL 14-102(4)).
Certain candidates/committees may still use this form to file In-Lieu-Of-Statements with the New York State Board of Elections (NYSBOE).
In order to qualify to file an In-Lieu-Of Statement, you must be a candidate and/or an authorized committee solely supporting one candidate or a committee involved solely in promoting the success or defeat of a ballot proposal, and at the close of the applicable reporting period, neither the total receipts nor the total expenditures of the campaign have exceeded $1,000. If you have previously filed an In-Lieu-Of Statement and find that you now exceed this $1,000 threshold, you must file an itemized report covering all transactions since the beginning of the campaign. Once an itemized report is required, you may not file an In-Lieu-Of Statement for any future reporting period.
