Minnesota Statutes Chapter 211A sets out campaign reporting requirements for candidates for Municipal Elections.
Candidate or Committee who raises or spends more than $750
- Initial Report--An initial report must be filed within 14 days after a candidate or committee raises or spends more than $750.
- Pre-general Report--Due 10 days before the general or special election. This report covers the period from where the previous report left off up to 5 days before when it is due.
- Certification of Filing--Due 7 days after the general or special election.
- Post-general report--Due 30 days after a general or special election. This report covers the period from where the pre-general report left off up to 5 days before when it is due.
- Year-end Report--A year end report is due on January 31 of each year following the year when the initial report is filed.
- Final Report--A candidate or committee may file a final report once all debts are paid and all assets in excess of $100 in the aggregate are disposed of. Filing a final report ends campaign report activity, but a new initial report must be filed if the candidate or committee raises or spends more than $750 after this point.
Candidate or Committee who raises or spends less than $750.
- Certification of Filing--Due 7 days after the general or special election. A certification of filing must be filed regardless if a candidate or committee raises or spends $750.
