Electronic Filing for Campaign & Lobbyist Reports

CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORTS

The City of San Jose's Office of the City Clerk is pleased to offer an UPDATED online filing feature for our campaign financial disclosure. This portal allows  filers to complete and submit campaign finance disclosure forms online in an easy, convenient, and user-friendly way. This updated, free online service is available to any local committee, candidate, or officeholder required to file campaign disclosure documents with our office. This system will also accommodate Cal-Access filers who may use another professional software system allowing those filers to upload data from another system.
