Opinion El.Bd. 03-01

The filing, with the State Elections Board, of a challenge to a candidate’s nomination, is an act for political purposes and the spending of more than $25 in the submitting of that challenge requires that the person challenging file a registration statement with the Board. The spending by an individual of more than $100 of his or her own money to submit a challenge to a candidate’s nomination precludes the individual from exempt status and requires the individual to file a campaign finance report. Whether or not nomination challenge expenditures are an in-kind contribution or an independent expenditure, or are neither, they are permissible political expenditures and should be reported.
