Massachusetts campaign finance requirements govern the following:

  • how much money candidates may receive from individuals and organizations,
  • how much and how often they must report those contributions, and
  • how much individuals, organizations and political parties may contribute to campaigns.

In addition to direct campaign contributions, campaign finance laws also apply to third-party organizations and nonprofit organizations that seek to influence elections through independent expenditures or issue advocacy.

As of May 2015, individuals could contribute no more than $1,000 to candidates for office. Unions could contribute no more than $500 to candidates for office. Corporations could not directly contribute to candidates for office. All of these donors could make unlimited contributions to ballot measure campaigns.

Background

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is the independent regulatory agency that administers and enforces federal campaign election laws. The FEC is responsible for disclosing campaign finance information, enforcing limits and prohibitions on contributions and overseeing public funding of presidential elections.[1] According to the FEC, an individual becomes a federal candidate and must begin reporting campaign finances once he or she has either raised or spent $5,000 in his or her campaign. Within fifteen days of this benchmark, the candidate must register with the FEC and designate an official campaign committee, which is responsible for the funds and expenditures of the campaign. This committee must have an official treasurer and cannot support any candidate but the one who registered it. Detailed financial reports are then made to the FEC every financial quarter after the individual is registered. Reports are also made before primaries and before the general election.[2]

The Supreme Court of the United States has issued a number of rulings pertaining to federal election campaign finance regulations. In the 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, the court held that corporate funding of independent political broadcasts in candidate elections cannot be limited. The court's decision also overturned the ban on for-profit and not-for-profit corporations and unions broadcasting electioneering communications in the 30 days before a presidential primary and in the 60 days before a general election.[3] In the SpeechNOW.org v. Federal Election Commission decision, the first application of the Citizens United decision, the court held that contribution limits on what individuals could give to independent expenditure-only groups, and the amount these organizations could receive, were unconstitutional. Contribution limits on donations directly to candidates, however, remained unchanged.[4][5] In 2014's McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission decision, the court overturned biennial aggregate campaign contribution limits, and held that individuals may contribute to as many federal candidates as they want, but may only contribute up to the federal limit in each case.[6]

While the FEC governs federal election campaigns and contribution limits, individual states enforce their own regulation and reporting requirements. Regulations vary by state, as do limits on campaign contributions and third-party activities to influence elections.

Candidate requirements

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Massachusetts General Laws, Part I, Title VIII, Chapter 55

For statewide office candidates

A candidate for statewide office is considered a "depository candidates" because he or she is required by law to designate a financial institution in Massachusetts as a depository for all campaign funds. All receipts must be deposited into this account and all expenditures must be made from it (this includes the candidate's personal funds). In order to designate a financial depository, a candidate and/or committee treasurer must file a CPF D 103 (Appointment of Depository Bank) form. Even a candidate who does not plan to open a bank account because he or she does not intend to receive contributions or make expenditures must designate a bank by filing this form. The financial institution submits regular reports of all contributions and expenditures to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance using information provided to the bank by the campaign. The financial institution is required to file these reports each month during non-election years and during the first six months of an election year in which the candidate is participating. During the last six months of an election year in which the candidate is participating, reports are filed twice monthly.[7][8][9]

A candidate is not usually legally required to form a committee (public employees who run for elective office must form committees). If the candidate does choose to organize a political committee for campaign purposes, he or she must file a Statement of Organization of a Candidate Committee. A committee can neither accept contributions nor make expenditures until this form is filed. A committee must name a chairman and a treasurer. The same person can often fulfill both of these roles, though a candidate cannot serve as his or her own treasurer and a public employee seeking elective office cannot serve as his or her own treasurer.[7]

A candidate and/or committee treasurer must file an initial campaign finance report (Form CPF D 102) within three business days after designating a depository institution. This report is intended to disclose any activity that may have occurred before the designation of the bank, complete through the date of the bank's designation. A candidate and/or treasurer must also file a year-end report on or before January 20 of the following year, complete from the day following the ending date of the last Form CPF D 102 through December 31. This report summarizes all receipts and expenditures for that reporting period.[7][10]

A Form CPF D 102 is also used to reveal any outstanding liabilities, in-kind contributions, or savings account information. This form, filed once per year, provides the only disclosure of the candidate's in-kind contributions, liabilities, and savings account information.[7]

All contributions must be deposited in the designated institution no later than the end of the seventh day after receipt. In conjunction with the deposit record, the candidate must also electronically file contributor information directly with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance. This may be done using the "Reporter" software or by entering the information directly into the Office of Campaign and Political Finance database using the online "Web Reporter" program. When entering contributor information for e-filing, the name and residential address of the contributor must be included for any receipt in excess of $50. Contributions of $50 or less may be combined in one total. However, any contributor of $50 or less must be itemized if the aggregate of his or her contributions for the calendar year has exceeded $50. For a monthly report, the deadline to submit this information is the fifth day of the following month. In the case of a report covering the first half of a month, the deadline is the 20th day of the month. Campaigns that receive and deposit contributions of $500 or more after the 18th day but no more than 72 hours before an election must disclose those contributions electronically to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance within 72 hours of deposit.[7][9]

All campaign payments in excess of $50 must be made to a named payee using specially-formatted checks drawn on the candidate's depository account. A check payable to a candidate or treasurer, for use as petty cash for the campaign or as reimbursement for expenditures made, may not exceed $50 and such checks may not exceed $500 in aggregate for any reporting period. At the end of each reporting period, the depository bank electronically files with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance information on each expenditure that cleared the depository account during the period. All information must be filed by the fifth day of the month following a monthly reporting period. In the case of a report covering the first half of a month, the information must be filed by the 20th day of the month. The expenditure information is then grouped with the deposit information that has been sent directly to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance by the candidate to comprise the entire filing for that period.[7][9]

A candidate or committee that has no cash balance, assets, or outstanding liabilities and wishes to dissolve can do so by filing an application for dissolution. A candidate or committee must continue to report on a regular basis until an application for dissolution is filed. Remaining funds from committee or candidate accounts must be donated to any of the following:[7]

  1. the state's General Fund
  2. the General Fund of a city or town
  3. a scholarship fund
  4. a charitable or religious organization

For state legislative candidates

State legislative candidates are held to the same organizational requirements as statewide candidates. A state legislative candidate is not, however, required to designate a financial depository and, consequently, the reporting schedule for state legislative candidates varies considerably. Reports must be filed with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance electronically if the candidate or committee expects to raise or spend more than $5,000 in the two-year election cycle. Those who do not reach that threshold are not required to file electronically, but must file with paper if they choose not to file electronically. The following information must be included on each report:[11]

1.) Schedule A: Receipts

This is an alphabetical listing of all contributions greater than $50 received in a reporting period, including the date the contribution was received and the residential address of the contributor. This information must also be reported for receipts of $50 or less if the total contributions from the individual have exceeded $50 in the calendar year. Otherwise, receipts of $50 or less are totaled on one line and included in total receipts. However, complete information must be kept by the candidate or committee regardless of the amount of the contribution. If the contribution is $200 or more, or if the individual's total contributions are $200 or more in the calendar year, the occupation and employer of the contributor must also be reported.

2.) Schedule B: Expenditures

This is an alphabetical listing of all disbursements of $50 with the amount and date of payment, the name and address of the payee and the purpose of the expenditure. Expenditures of $50 or less may be added together on one line and included on the total expenditures line. However, complete information concerning all expenditures must be kept by the candidate or committee regardless of the amount.

3.) Schedule C: In-kind Contributions

This is an alphabetical listing of all in-kind contributions with a value greater than $50 in a calendar year. This listing includes the date, name and residential address of the contributor and a description of the contribution. The occupation and employer of any contributor of $200 or more in in-kind goods or services, or a combination of monetary and in-kind contributions, is also required. For those contributions valued at $50 or less, a one-line total is included in the total of all in-kind contributions.

4.) Schedule D: Liabilities

This is an alphabetical listing of all outstanding, unpaid obligations, including loans, as of the last day of the reporting period, regardless of when the liability was incurred. The amount of the liability, the date incurred, name and address to whom it is due and its purpose must be noted. Liabilities are carried over from each report to the next report until they are paid.

5.) Schedule E: Disclosure of Assets Statement

This is a listing of all assets acquired or disposed of during that calendar year that have a useful life of one year or more, would be depreciable in a normal business environment, and have a cost or value of $1,000 or more at the time of acquisition. This schedule is filed only once each year, due on or before January 20, or upon dissolution.

The reporting schedule is detailed in the table below.[10][11]

State legislative candidate campaign finance deadlines
Report type Due date
Pre-primary report 8th day preceding the primary
Pre-general report 8th day preceding the general election
Year-end report January 20 in the following year

Like depository candidates, state legislative candidates must file special reports for late contributions. State legislative candidates or committees that receive and deposit contributions of $500 or more after the 18th day but no more than 72 hours before an election are required to report those contributions electronically to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance within 72 hours of deposit.[11]
