RE: Election Laws
Dear David:
With respect to the laws of the five states you
asked me to review, I am of the opinion that there is no
requirement for the President to personally file a state-
ment of contributions and expenses. The results of my
research are as follows:
Arkansas. While candidates are required
to file verified sworn accounts 60 days
after the election, the Presidential
Electors are the candidates, not the
President [Arkansas State Statutes
$3-207].
Connecticut. Here again, we find the
requirement that candidates who have
incurred personal expenses must file a
statement with the Secretary of State,
and, here again, the Presidential
Electors are the candidates, not the
President [Conn. Election Laws, Rev.
1971, $9-348a].

Hawaii. I was unable to locate anything more
recent than the 1971 laws relating to elections,
whereas apparently a more recent revision has
occurred. The 1971 laws impose the requirement
of a report upon candidates for state offices
only. [Hawaii, 1971, Title 12, Section 12-122].
Mississippi. The reporting requirements relate
only to candidates for state offices.
[Mississippi Code, 1971 Supp. $$3179, 3181].
Oklahoma. The Act, by definition, does not apply
to candidates for President [Oklahoma Stat. Anno.,
1967 Supp., $413].

As I mentioned to you on the phone, I am pleased to
have been of some assistance. I want to emphasize my continued
willingness to provide further assistance should the need arise.
Very truly yours,
