Campaign Finance
Welcome to the Pennsylvania Department of State’s Campaign Finance website. This site receives and posts campaign finance reports filed by candidates for statewide, legislative and judicial offices, as well as political committees registered in Pennsylvania. Reports filed by other local candidates or political committees can be viewed by contacting the county Board of Elections. Campaign finance reports can now be filed and reviewed online 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Effective with the 2018 Election Cycle, after hours drop off will no longer be available. Reports must be received in our office by 5:00 pm on the day of the deadline. Please note, after you become an approved online filer, reports can be submitted online until 11:59 pm on the day of the deadline.
