Ohio Admin. Code 111:2-4-09 - Short form statements
(A) No campaign committee is required to file
a postprimary election campaign finance statement required under division
(A)(2) of section
3517.10
of the Revised Code if, during the combined preelection
pre-election and postelection reporting periods, the
committee received contributions of five hundred dollars or less and made
expenditures of five hundred dollars or less. Instead, the campaign committee
may file a short-form statement as prescribed by the secretary of state. The
statement shall indicate the total amount of contributions received and
expenditures made and the balance on hand, and shall be signed under penalty of
election falsification. If either the contributions received or the
expenditures made during this period exceed five hundred dollars, the campaign
committee must file the postprimary election statement required by division
(A)(2) of section
3517.10
of the Revised Code that includes all the information required in divisions (B)
and (C) of section
3517.10
of the Revised Code.
(B) No
campaign committee is required to file a postgeneral election campaign finance
statement required by division (A)(2) of section
3517.10
of the Revised Code if, during the combined preprimary, postprimary,
pregeneral, and postgeneral election periods, it received contributions and
made expenditures of five hundred dollars or less. Instead, the campaign
committee may file a short-form statement as prescribed by the secretary of
state. The statement shall indicate the total amount of contributions received
and expenditures made and the balance on hand, and shall be signed under
penalty of election falsification. If either the contributions received or the
expenditures made during the combined periods exceed five hundred dollars, the
campaign committee shall file the postgeneral election statement required by
division (A)(2) of section
3517.10
of the Revised Code that includes all the information required in divisions (B)
and (C) of section
3517.10
of the Revised Code.
(C) Paragraphs
(A) and (B) of this rule do not apply if a campaign committee makes
expenditures prior to the first day of January of the year of the election at
which the candidate seeks nomination or election to office or if the campaign
committee does not file a termination statement with its postprimary election
statement in the case of an unsuccessful primary election candidate or with its
postgeneral election statement in the case of other candidates.
(D) If a campaign committee of a successful
candidate at a primary election has filed a short form in accordance with this
rule, then the first statement that committee files in regard to the general
election shall reflect all contributions received and all expenditures made
during the preprimary and postprimary election periods.
(E) A campaign committee of a candidate that
was unsuccessful in its effort to obtain its party's nomination to office and
that fails to terminate may not file a short form statement for the postprimary
election statement required under division (A)(2) of section
3517.10
of the Revised Code as provided in this rule, regardless of the amount of
contributions received and expenditures made. Instead such campaign committee
must file the statements required by divisions (A)(1) and (A)(2) of section
3517.10
of the Revised Code.
(F) A campaign
committee of a candidate that was unsuccessful in its effort to seek election
