About Electronic Filing
The Missouri Ethics Commission offers several web-based reporting filing systems.
Campaign Finance
This reporting system is used
by registered committees to file their disclosure reports. A continuing committee
making contributions greater than $15,000 and all candidate committees for statewide
office and the General Assembly must file electronically. All candidate committees
for public office in any city, country, or special purpose district (schools, fire
boards, ambulance districts, etc.) may electronically file their campaign finance
disclosure reports with the Commission. Filing electronically with the Commission
fulfills the local reporting requirements.
Steps to Become a Committee Registered to File Electronically:

Statement of Committee Organization or, if a local candidate committee, send
to the Missouri Ethics Commission a copy of the committee's completed Statement
of Committee Organization on file with the local election authority and

Personal Identification Application and Local Campaign Finance Reporting Waiver
