Santa Clara Municipal Code Art. VII Additional Disclosure Requirements

The Political Reform Act provides for various campaign statements to be filed on dates determined by the Fair Political Practices Commission. The second pre-election statement has a filing deadline approximately three weeks before the election. In addition to the requirements of the Political Reform Act, seven calendar days before the election, all candidates shall submit to the City a campaign disclosure statement. This statement shall cover the period from the last date of the second pre-election statement to the date eleven (11) days prior to the election.

No contribution shall be deposited into a campaign checking account unless the name, address, occupation and employer of the contributor is on file in the records of the recipient of the contribution.

(Ord. 1745 § 2, 1-11-2000; Ord. 1924 § 1, 4-22-2014; Formerly 2.130.250)

All submissions of campaign disclosure statements shall be submitted neatly printed, typed or in an electronic media form. In all cases, the documents/media must be legible (or electronically useable) as determined by the City Clerk. It is the intent of the City to give the voting public access to the campaign disclosure statements through the City use of modern media resources. Documents that are not legible (or electronically useable) prevent widespread public access to this crucial information.
