QUICK TIP: Candidates should check with the local jurisdiction to determine if there is a local ordinance with separate redesignation requirements.
Running for a Different Office To use money remaining in the campaign bank account for a future election to a different office before the funds become surplus, a local candidate must: • File a new Form 501 (Candidate Intention Statement) for the specific future election; • File a new Form 410 (Statement of Organization) ; and, • Open a new bank account . So long as the funds are not surplus and there are no local restrictions, the campaign funds from the other account may be transferred to the new bank account. Ex 12.3 - Jayna Chacon is a city council member who plans to run for county supervisor in the next election. Jayna would like to use the remaining funds in the city council committee bank account for the county election. Jayna must file a new Form 501 before soliciting or receiving contributions for the county supervisor election. Jayna must also file a new Form 410 and open a new bank account. The city council committee campaign funds must be transferred to the county supervisor campaign bank account within 90 days after the date Jayna leaves the city council position.
