Ex 10.4 - A school board member has an open committee from the school board election. The school board member opens a committee to run for mayor in their city. As an incumbent school board member and a candidate for mayor, they must file campaign statements for both committees with both the county elections office and the city clerk. Preelection statements and semi-annual statements required to be filed in connection with the mayoral election are filed as follows: • Mayoral Committee
• City Clerk – Original and one copy • County Elections Office – One copy
Ex 10.5 - A city council member has an open committee from the city council election. The council member opens a committee to run for State Assembly. Semi-annual and preelection statements required in connection with the State Assembly election are filed as follows: • Assembly Committee • Electronic Filers: Secretary of State only – Electronically and one paper original • Non-Electronic Filers: Secretary of State – Original and one copy City Clerk – One copy • City Council Committee • City Clerk – Original and one copy An officeholder who does not have a controlled committee may file the Form 470 by July 31 for the position held. If the officeholder subsequently opens a committee to run for a different office, they must file the Form 460 for the required preelection and semi-annual statements. Since the Form 470 was filed in connection with a position for which the candidate does not have a committee, a Form 470 Supplement is not required. However, if the officeholder opens a committee prior to June 30 for election to a different office, the Form 460 must be filed by July 31 for both the position held and the office sought. The officeholder may file one Form 460 and list both the position held and the office sought on the Cover Page, Part 5.
