Election News

 

The State of Alabama has been awaiting preclearance of Acts No. 2011-687 regarding changes in the Fair Campaign Practices Act filings and 2011-697 regarding disclosures on political advertising.  On Monday, September 26, 2011, the Secretary of State’s office was notified that the U.S. Department of Justice has precleared both Acts.  Act No. 2011-687 requires, among other things, monthly FCPA reports of contributions and expenditures beginning with the 2012 election cycle for principal campaign committees and PACS that have filed statements pursuant to Code of Alabama, Sections 17-5-4 and 17-5-5, respectively. Consequently, anyone who has qualified as a candidate by reaching the spending/receiving threshold will have a monthly report due on Friday, September 30, 2011.  The SOS office has completely revamped the FCPA forms.  To obtain a copy, you may download same from their website (linked from the Candidates button on our Elections Page) or by visiting the Election Center on the First Floor of the Mobile Government Center Annex at 151 Government Street in downtown Mobile.  The phone number for the Election Center is 574-6080.
