Each committee will have a <br />private workspace where they can data enter or upload transaction information on a regular basis. The <br />system will calculate the due date for each transaction entered. The candidate or treasurer will select the <br />transactions to be filed and will submit them via the web. <br />Is the candidate or treasurer required to data enter or upload transaction information or can other <br />individuals assist? <br /> <br />A candidate or treasurer can grant other individuals access to the committee's workspace. Individuals can <br />be granted access to do data entry or upload a file. However, the filing of transactions with the Secretary of <br />State must be done by the candidate or treasurer. <br />When are transactions due? <br /> <br />Transactions are generally due within 30 days of the date of the transaction, except during the 6 weeks prior <br />to an election when transactions must be filed within 7 days of the date of the transaction. Additionally, <br />certain candidates and committees must report all contributions received during a legislative session within 2 <br />business days of receipt. <br />When does campaign finance information become public record? <br /> <br />A committee's workspace is a private area. A contribution or expenditure transaction entered into a <br />committee's workspace does not become public record until the candidate or treasurer files it with the <br />Secretary of State. <br />How do I file a PC 1 with my signature? <br /> <br />A committee will not be required to submit a signed PC 1 form. The online filing process will include an <br />attestation by the candidate or treasurer and the system will calculate all summary totals for a committee. <br />Will the system calculate contributor and payee aggregates? <br /> <br />Yes, the system will calculate contributor and payee aggregates and also calculate all the miscellaneous <br />contribution and expenditure categories if the committee data enters or uploads all transactions. This is the <br />Secretary of State's recommended approach. Information regarding a contributor or payee will remain in the <br />committee's private workspace and will not be disclosed to the Secretary of State or the public until the <br />aggregate threshold for reporting a contributor or payee is met. <br />
