To get started please checkout the North Carolina Campaign Finance Manual.

This Manual will assist you with becoming more familiar with campaign finance laws and procedures.

Once you have decided to file as a candidate, you should file a Statement of Organization creating your political committee. This will allow you to receive Contributions and/or make expenditures. Please complete one of the two documents above depending on the amount of money you plan to spend and receive.

Statement of Organization forms are filed with the Dare County Board of Elections. Before completing the forms, contact the Dare County Board of Elections to ensure the forms are completed properly and to answer any questions.
