WELCOME TO THE
NEW HAMPSHIRE CAMPAIGN FINANCE SYSTEM (CFS)

Click here to enter the New Hampshire Campaign Finance System!
 

 This new system, which is optional for the 2006 election cycle, offers numerous advantages to candidates, political committees, and the general public seeking to file and review campaign finance information.  The system is designed to be as "user friendly” as possible, with appropriate prompts to facilitate use.  A  57-page user manual is also available.  

 The system captures the same information as the existing paper system, following the same state laws that apply to paper document filers.

Candidates, Campaign Committees, and Political Action Committees should review the General Instructions and Deadlines for candidates or political action committees, as appropriate.
The first step for using the on line system is to register You will be asked to select a unique user name and password.  For security reasons, please limit access to your user name and password.  Once registered, you can utilize this user name and password to access your account and enter financial receipts and expenditures. This can be done on either an "as you go” basis  OR  by working off line on a downloadable template.  In either case, receipt and expenditures data will only become available to public users after the appropriate filing deadlines.  Also, given that public users will be cross referencing the database of contributors, we request, to the extent feasible, that you enter each individual contributor’s full name (no nicknames) and home address (rather than a business address).

 Public Users, which includes anyone wishing to view this data, have access, as they do under the paper-based system, to filed statements, listings of contributors, and general information on the registered candidates and committees.   Accessibility to the reports and expenditures is effective immediately after the filing deadlines, as is the case under the paper system.

 Thank you for using this new system.   We hope that it makes report filings easier for candidates and committees, while also providing citizens and interested parties with improved access to this important public information.  If you have any questions or suggestions for improvements, please let us know at elections@sos.state.nh.gov .
