The State Board of Elections (SBE) sends a Pre Report Notice before each report is due. This notice is only sent if our system indicates that your entity owes the report. If you receive a Pre Report Notice that you feel is in error, please immediately contact this office for assistance. Fees will be assessed for campaign finance reports received late. The maximum late fee is $1,000 per report.

Delivery Requirements:

• MD CRIS - Using any Internet browser, log in at www.campaignfinance.maryland.gov. You can file your campaign finance report up to 11:59 pm on the filing deadline. An email will be sent to you verifying the submission of the report.


• Mailed - If mailed, the report must either arrive at the State Board on or before the due date, or must be timely postmarked. Acceptable proof of timely mailing includes: (1) a United States Postal Service postmark or receipt; (2) a timely private meter postmark (provided the report was received by this office within 3 days of the due date); or (3) a timely receipt from a private carrier (provided the report was received by this office within 3 days of the due date).

Please note that the beginning transaction date for all campaign finance reports is the day after the ending transaction date of the prior report. If the committee is new, the beginning transaction date is the date the committee formed. A committee is only responsible for the election related reports in the election year which the committee has expressly designated its participation.  However, if a committee participates in an election year which it has not designated, the committee must notify the State Board of Elections and file all campaign finance reports for that election.  A committee is always required to file the Annual Report. 

The Affidavit of Limited Contributions and Expenditures may be filed instead of a required Campaign Finance Report if, since the establishment of the campaign finance entity or the last report filed, the campaign finance entity has not received or spent $1,000.00 or more.

Note: Election-related campaign finance reports are due only if the political committee has designated participation in that election or if a non-designated political committee participates in that election.   Every political committee must file the Annual Report.

Amendment Filing Dates

State Board of Elections (SBE) conducts an audit of every campaign finance reports filed to ensure compliance with the law.  If a political committee receives a deficiency notice(s), then the political committee must file an amendment by the due date for that campaign finance report.  In most cases, the corrective action requires filing an amended report .  Amendments must be filed electronically unless the political committee previously received a Waiver of Electronic Filing. 

Please remember that the political committee may receive deficiencies for multiple campaign finance reports at one time.  It is required to file a separate amendment for each campaign finance report with a deficiency.  Failure to file the required amendment will result in late fees being assessed at a rate of $20.00 a day for the first seven (7) days, $35.00 a day for the next seven (7) days, and $50.00 after fifteen (15) days per campaign finance report until it is received. The maximum late fee is $1000.00 per report owed. Any late fees assessed must be paid with campaign funds.
