CAMPAIGN FINANCING
REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE
Cam. Fin. 10/71
THE CAMPAIGN FINANCING AND REPORTING ACT IS IN
TWO PARTS AND WILL SC BE TREATED HEREIN
PART A
This part treats financing campaigns for election, and preliminary
primaries, to the offices of presidential elector, United States senator,
member in congress, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of the state,
treasurer, comptroller, attorney general, sheriff, judge of probate, and
member of the general assembly.
Financing, the receipt of campaign contributions and the expenditure
of same, is in all events done by the campaign treasurer. There may be
many campaign treasurers, for nothing prevents one from serving as the
treasurer of more than one organization or candidate, and nothing prevents
an organization or candidate from having more than one campaign treasurer.
Organizations which must have a campaign treasurer are those
combinations of two or more persons organized.or conducting its activities
in or outside the state to aid or promote the success or defeat of any political
party or principle in any election or to take part in the nomination or election
of any candidate for public office.
A candidate himself, if he is to enter upon the business of campaign
financing, must do so through a campaign treasurer; the candidate, then, may
appoint his own campaign treasurer. Cr, with his permission, there may be
a committee formed on behalf of the candidate himself; in such event the
committee must have a campaign treasurer.
While a candidate may appoint one or more treasurers, or have one
or more committees on his behalf each with a treasurer, in no event may
the candidate serve as his own campaign treasurer. In addition, each
candidate is required to designate one treasurer to be responsible for
receiving and coordinating reports of contributions and expenditures and filing
the itemized sworn statement required with the secretary of the state. All
other campaign treasurers and political committees shall be responsible for
reporting contributions to and expenditures by them to such Coordinating
Treasurer not later than ten days prior to the filing date with the (ecretary
of the State.
The first step, which must be executed before the business of campaign
financing is begun, is the filing of designations with the secretary of the state.
Three designations are required: (a) that of the campaign treasurer, who
must be a Connecticut elector; (b) that of the campaign depository, which
must be a bank situated in Connecticut; and (c) that of the coordinating treasurer.
The designation of treasurer is signed by the secretary of the committee;
in the case of a personal treasurer appointed by the candidate, it is signed by
the candidate; in the case of the coordinating treasurer, it is signed by the
candidate; in the case of a committee formed on behalf of a candidate, it is
signed by the secretary of the committee and the candidate. The designation
must specify the period during which the treasurership shall continue.
Only after the campaign treasurer and the campaign depository have been
designated may campaign contributions be solicited or received, and expend-
itures authorized or made.
All contributions, including any contributions by the candidate himself,
must be made only to a treasurer whose designation is on file, and the
treasurer must deposit contributions within seven days of receipt in the bank
depository whose designation is on file.
Limitations on what a candidate himself may contribute have been removed
from state law. Reference should be made to federal law where applicable.
Cam. Fin. 10/71
A-2
Only a campaign treasurer may authorize the expenditure of campaign
funds and actually expend campaign funds. No financial obligation may be
incurred unless it is authorized in writing by the campaign treasurer. And
the actual satisfaction of any financial obligation must be by check drawn on
the bank depository by the campaign treasurer according to the tenor of his
original authorization. This precludes checks made payable to "cash".
With reference to expenditures, while the actual business of campaign
financing is carried on only by a campaign treasurer, candidates are in
strictly limited circumstances permitted to pay their own personal expenses.
The candidate may do so either out of pocket, or by drawing upon a campaign
treasurer.
Personal expenses which a candidate may himself pay are restricted to
postage, telegrams, telephoning, stationery, expressage, traveling, meals
and lodging.
The candidate must give an itemized accounting of his personal
expenditures to the campaign treasurer. Such itemized accounting will become
part of the campaign treasurer's report to the secretary of the state.
A campaign treasurer for an unsuccessful candidate in a primary must
report to the secretary of the state within thirty days following the primary.
Otherwise, campaign treasurers are required to report to the secretary of the
state within thirty days following election. As mentioned before, a candidate
must report as to his personal expenditures for inclusion in the campaign
treasurer's report.
In the case of campaign treasurers of candidates, where there is a
deficit or surplus, supplemental reports must be filed with the secretary of
the state every ninety days until the deficit is eliminated or the surplus distri-
buted. The campaign treasurer may distribute surplus either to the state
central committee or to the local town committee of the party of the candidate
as the candidate determines.
Campaign treasurers must take care to maintain such records as will
satisfy the requirements of the campaign financing law. Their reports to the
secretary of the state must be under oath and must contain the following
information:
All contributions must be itemized, and those of a con-
tributor in the aggregate totalling more than fifteen
dollars must be identified by full name and complete
address, contributors of less than fifteen dollars must
be identified by name and town of residence.
Corporations may not make political contributions.
(This prohibition shall not apply to any incorporated town
committee established under Sec. 9-392) Anonymous
contributions are not permitted either.
All expenditures must be itemized, giving full name and
complete address of the payee, the amount of the expend-
iture, and the purpose of the expenditure.
Permissible expenditures are those listed in Section 9-348g
of the law. It is improper to lump expenditures, such as by
paying several individuals through an intermediary.
Campaign treasurers of candidates showing a deficit or surplus in their
reports are required to file supplemental reports every ninety days until the
deficit is eliminated or the surplus distributed. In the supplemental reports
all further contributions must be identified; where the surplus is distributed
either to the state central committee or the local town committee of the party
of the candidate, the campaign treasurer must so specify.
Cam. Fin. 10/71
A-3
Campaign treasurers should take care to file their reports on time, as
the law provides for late filing fees and criminal prosecution. Campaign treas-
urers must file their reports with the coordinating treasurer 10 days prior to the
filing date under Sec. 9-348h with the secretary of the state, which filing dates
are thirty days following an election; or in the case of an unsuccessful candidate
in a primary, within thirty days following such primary.
Cancelled checks returned by the campaign deposity bank to a campaign
treasurer should be preserved by him for the duration of the term of office
sought by the candidate to whom they relate, as required by law. If a single
expenditure relates to more than one candidate, it is advised to preserve that
check for the duration of the longest term of office.
Special provisions of law govern testimonial affairs. Testimonial affairs
for office holders and for candidates for nomination and election are strictly
limited as to time and purpose. The consent of the candidate is required.
(a)
No testimonial shall be held except in the
calendar year before the election and not
later than ninety days following same, except
that if such candidate has a deficit from such
election, testimonial affairs may be held on
his behalf until such deficit is eliminated.
(b)
Testimonial proceeds may be used only for
those purposes recognized in the law as
permissible campaign expenditures (Sec. 9-348g).
Inasmuch as the proceeds of testimonial affairs are used for campaign
purposes, testimonial affairs are governed by the laws of campaign financing
and reporting, beginning with the designation of a campaign treasurer and of
a campaign depository bank, and continuing through the reporting requirements
as they pertain to campaign treasurers of candidates, including full identification
and itemization as to contributions and expenditures.
Where possible within statutory time provisions, the campaign treasurer
may include his report of a testimonial affair with his post election campaign
report. As to testimonials not included in the campaign treasurer's post
election report, a separate report as to the testimonial must be filed within
thirty days following such testimonial.
PART B
This part of the campaign financing and reporting act treats financing
campaigns for election, and preliminary primaries, to all elective public
offices except presidential elector, United States senator, member in congress,
governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of the state, treasurer, comptroller,
attorney general, sheriff, judge of probate, and member of the general assembly.
Financing, the receipt of campaign contributions and the expenditure of
same, is in all events done by the campaign treasurer. There may be many
campaign treasurers, for nothing prevents one from serving as the treasurer of
more than one organization or candidate, and nothing prevents an organization
or candidate from having more than one campaign treasurer.
Organizations which must have a campaign treasurer are those combin-
ations of two or more persons organized or conducting its activities in or
outside of the state to aid or promote the success or defeat of any political party
or principle in any election or to take part in the nomination or election of any
candidate for public office.
A candidate himself, if he is to enter upon the business of campaign financ-
ing, must do so through a campaign treasurer; the candidate, then, may appoint
his own campaign treasurer. Cr, with his permission, there may be a committee
formed on behalf of the candidate himself; in such event the committee must have
a campaign treasurer.
While a candidate may appoint one or more treasurers, or have one or
more committees on his behalf each with a treasurer, in no event may the
candidate serve as his own campaign treasurer.
In addition, each candidate is required to designate one treasurer to be
responsible for receiving and coordinating reports of contributions and expend-
itures and filing the itemized sworn statement required with the town clerk.
All other campaign treasurers and political committees shall be responsible for
reporting contributions to and expenditures by them to such Coordinating
Treasurer not later than ten days prior to the filing date with the town clerk.
The first step, which must be executed before the business of campaign
financing is begun, is the filing of a designation of treasurer with the town clerk
and the filing of a designation of the Coordinating Treasurer.
The designation of treasurer is signed by the secretary of the committee;
in the case of a personal treasurer appointed by the candidate, it is signed by the
candidate; in the case of the coordinating treasurer, it is signed by the candidate;
in the case of a committee formed on behalf of a candidate, it is signed by the
secretary of the committee and the candidate. The designation must specify the
period during which the treasurership shall continue.
Only after the campaign treasurer has been designated may campaign
contributions be solicited or received, and expenditures authorized or made.
All contributions, including any contributions by the candidate himself,
must be made only to a treasurer whose designation is on file.
Limitations on what a candidate himself may contribute have been removed
from state law.
Only a campaign treasurer may actually expend campaign funds.
With reference to expenditures, while the actual business of campaign
financing is carried on only by a campaign treasurer, candidates are in strictly
limited circumstances permitted to pay their own personal expenses after first
drawing upon a campaign treasurer for same.
Personal expenses which a candidate may himself pay are restricted to
postage, telegrams, telephoning, stationery, expressage, traveling, meals and
lodging.
Cam. Fin. 10/71
B-2
Since candidates draw upon the campaign treasurer for their personal
expenses, they must furnish an itemized accounting to the campaign treasurer,
and it will become a part of that campaign treasurer's report to the town clerk.
A campaign treasurer for an unsuccessful candidate in a primary must
report to the town clerk within thirty days following the primary. Otherwise,
campaign treasurers report to the town clerk within thirty days following the
election. As mentioned before, the campaign treasurer must include as part of
his report an accounting of candidate's personal expenses for which the candidate
drew upon the treasurer.
Campaign treasurers must take care to maintain such records as will
satisfy the requirements of the campaign financing law. Their reports to the
town clerk must be under oath and must contain the following information:
All contributions must be itemized, and those of a
contributor in the aggregate totalling more than fifteen
dollars must be identified by full name and complete
address, contributors of less than fifteen dollars must
be identified by name and town of residence.
Corporations may not make political contributions.
(This prohibition shall not apply to any incorporated
town committee established under Sec. 9-392.)
Anonymous contributions are not permitted either.
All expenditures must be itemized, giving full name and
complete address of the payee, the amount of the expend-
iture, and the purpose of the expenditure.
Permissible expenditures are those listed in Section
9-340 of the law. It is improper to lump expenditures,
such as by paying several individuals through an
intermediary.
Campaign treasurers should take care to file their reports on time, as the
law provides for penalties and criminal prosecution. Campaign treasurers
must file their reports with the coordinating treasurer 10 days prior to the filing
date under Sec. 9-341, which filing dates are 30 days following an election; or
in the case of an unsuccessful candidate in a primary, within 30 days following
such primary.
Special provisions of law govern testimonial affairs. Testimonial affairs
for office holders and for candidates for nomination and election are strictly
limited as to time and purpose. The consent of the candidate is required.
No testimonial shall be held except in the calendar year
before the election and not leter than ninety days following
same; except that, if such candidate has a deficit from
such election, testimonial affairs may be held on his behalf
until such deficit is eliminated.
Testimonial proceeds may be used only for those purposes
recognized in the law as permissible campaign expenditures.
(Section 9-340)
Inasmuch as the proceeds of testimonial affairs are used for campaign
purposes, testimonial affairs are governed by the laws of campaign financing and
reporting, beginning with the designation of a campaign treasurer and continuing
through the reporting requirements as they pertain to campaign treasurers of
candidates, including full identification and itemization as to contributions and
expenditures.
Cam. Fin. 10/71
B-3
Where possible within statutory time provisions, the campaign treasurer
may include his report of a testimonial affair with his post election campaign
report. As to testimonials not included in the campaign treasurer's post
election report, a separate report as to the testimonial must be filed within
thirty days following such testimonial.
Statements filed with the town clerk must be preserved for the duration of
the term of office being sought by the candidate to who they relate.
