Electronic Filing
State committees that make contributions of $25,000 or more must file electronically with the Secretary of State. State committees that are required to file the Form 497 (24-Hour/10- Day Contribution Report) must file this form electronically even if the $25,000 threshold has not yet been met. For more information on the electronic filing requirements, contact the Secretary of State’s office at (916) 653-6224 . Local committees should contact the local jurisdiction to determine if there are electronic filing requirements.
Late Filing Penalties and Fines
Failure to file campaign statements may result in late filing penalties of $10/day (state committees may be fined $20/day if they must file electronically and on paper) and fines of up to $5,000 per violation.
