Council elections, the voluntary expenditure limit is $7,500; for the mayoral election, the voluntary expenditure
limit is $30,000. Contribution limits for council elections are $100 per person and $500 from the candidate; for
the mayoral election they are $500 per person and $500 from the candidate.

The program is entirely voluntary. The names of the candidates who pledge to limit contributions and
expenditures within the scope of the program and adhere to those limits throughout the entire campaign will
be published in the local newspaper and on the City's website. The state-required contribution and
expenditure reports will be used to determine expenditures and contributions. For additional information, see
Resolution 4709.

Campaign Finance Reporting in Oregon
Candidate "Quick Guide"
Congratulations on your decision to run for office! We hope this guide provides tips and answers to frequently
asked questions by first-time candidates.
More detailed information is available in the Campaign Finance Manual and the ORESTAR User’s
Manuals available at www.oregonvotes.gov. The Campaign Finance Manual explains what information
is disclosed when reporting campaign finance transactions. The ORESTAR User’s Manual: Statement of
Organization and ORESTAR User’s Manual: Transaction Filing explains how to file a statement of
organization and campaign finance transactions electronically using ORESTAR.
Who Must File a Candidate Committee?
If you
Then
Serve as your own treasurer
and
Do not have an existing candidate committee
and
Do not expect to spend or receive more than
$750 during the entire calendar year (including in-
kind contributions and personal funds)
Relax. No action is necessary because under Oregon Election Law you are
not required to establish a candidate committee if you meet all of the
criteria. However, you must keep track of all contributions and
expenditures because if you exceed the $750 threshold you must
establish a committee and open a dedicated bank account not later than
three business days after exceeding the threshold. NOTE: Any fee paid
for filing a candidate’s statement for inclusion in the state voters’
pamphlet is not included for the purpose of calculating the $750
threshold. Additionally, you must either file a Certificate of Limited
Contributions and Expenditures (PC 7) or all transactions that have
occurred in the calendar year. See information below to determine if you
are eligible to file a Certificate.
Do not expect to receive a total of more than
$3,500 or spend a total of more than $3,500 for
the entire calendar year
File a Statement of Organization and establish a dedicated bank account –
either by using ORESTAR or by submitting the paper forms Statement of
Organization for Candidate Committee (SEL 220) and Campaign Account
Information form (SEL 223)
File a Certificate of Limited Contributions and Expenditures either by using
ORESTAR or by submitting the paper form (PC 7) not later than seven days
after first receiving a contribution or making an expenditure
Expect to spend or receive more than $3,500
File a Statement of Organization and establish a dedicated bank account –
either by using ORESTAR or by submitting the paper forms Statement of
Organization for Candidate Committee (SEL 220) and Campaign Account
Information form (SEL 223)
File campaign finance transactions using ORESTAR
What starts the whole process?
The decision to run for a public office (even if the office is not known), accepting contributions and making
expenditures, whether from personal funds, campaign funds, or another person’s funds to support your
candidacy.
Once I become a candidate, then what?
You must register your committee with the Secretary of State not later than 3 business days of first receiving a
contribution or making an expenditure if you are not exempt under the $750 threshold law.
May I serve as my own treasurer?
Yes, you may serve as your own treasurer. The Campaign Finance Manual provides committees with
information on candidate/treasurer responsibilities.
Must I have a dedicated campaign account?
Oregon law requires you to establish a dedicated campaign account if you are required to file a Statement
of Organization. The account must be established in a financial institution located in Oregon that
ordinarily conducts business in Oregon. One important reminder—when establishing your campaign
account, the name of the committee and the name of the account must be the same.
Secretary of State Elections Division Candidate Quick Guide rev.9/2017
Campaign Finance Reporting in Oregon (cont.)
Candidate "Quick Guide"
How do I file?
The key to complying with campaign contribution and expenditure disclosure requirements is to keep detailed
records and file your transactions on time.
Electronic Filing
Oregon Election law requires that campaign finance transactions be filed electronically. The Secretary of
State’s Office provides an electronic filing system, ORESTAR, free of charge. There is a terminal located in
the Election’s Division office for public use.
What if I don’t own a computer?
A Statement of Organization (SEL 220), Campaign Account Information (SEL 223) and Certificate of Limited
Contributions and Expenditures (PC 7) may be filed using the paper forms. If you are not eligible to file a
Certificate, contribution and expenditure transactions must be reported electronically using ORESTAR.
You may want to check with your local library or other public facilities in your area to see if they provide a
computer terminal for public use.
When do I report contribution and expenditures?
Generally, the deadline for filing a transaction is not later than 30 calendar days after the date of the
transaction. For committees active in an election, beginning on the 42
nd
day before the date of the election
and through the date of the election, a transaction is due not later than 7 calendar days after the date of the
transaction. The campaign finance reporting requirements and additional transaction deadlines are available
in the Campaign Finance Manual. Information on how to electronically file transactions is detailed in the
ORESTAR User’s Manual: Transaction Filing.
Are my campaign finance transactions public record?
Yes, after the transactions are filed in ORESTAR they are immediately available to the public by accessing
the Public Search link for ORESTAR.
Are there campaign contribution and expenditure limits?
No, Oregon does not have contribution and expenditure limits.
How do I discontinue my committee?
In order to discontinue your committee, you must: Achieve a zero balance and file a Statement to
Organization discontinuing the committee.
Where do I get copies of forms and instructional manuals?
All publications and forms are available online at www.oregonvotes.gov, or may be requested from the
Elections Division at 503 986 1518.
Need additional help?
The Elections Division staff is available to answer any questions. You may:
