About Independent Expenditures

When an organization or person not affiliated with a candidate (an independent spender) makes certain payments or provides certain services that refer to municipal candidates or ballot proposals, it has made an independent expenditure.  Effective May 16, 2012, certain independent expenditures, as well as information about the independent spender and its source of funds, must be reported to the Campaign Finance Board.  There are no limits on what may be raised or spent; the independent expenditure rules require disclosure only.

To obtain access to the Independent Expenditure Disclosure System, or if you have any questions about independent expenditures, please contact the CFB at IEMail@nyccfb.info or 212-306-7386.
