The Campaign Finance Section in the Secretary of State’s Election Division receives, processes and examines campaign finance reports for all state office candidates, state political parties, statewide political action committees, and General Assembly candidates.
Each year the Campaign Finance Section receives between 4,000 and 6,000 campaign finance reports. The Campaign Finance Section examines these reports for compliance with Ohio law. This section also serves as a resource for the campaign committees and the Boards of Elections, conducting in-depth training, answering questions and giving guidance on campaign finance issues.
The Campaign Finance section produces the Ohio Campaign Finance Handbook and ensures disclosure of campaign finance data to the public. For more information, please e-mail the Campaign Finance staff at: cfinance@sos.state.oh.us.
