Campaign Finance Reports
Campaign Finance Reports must be filed with the Office of the City Secretary.
For City of Amarillo general election years (odd numbered years) reports are due on the following dates (for the noted Reporting Periods):
- January 15 (Period I)
- July 15 (Period II)
- 30 days before the election (Period III)
- Eight days before the election (Period IV)
- Certain positions will have a runoff, which necessitates one more report, eight days before the runoff election (Period V). Period V also covers the Final Report for candidates who did not win their races in the general election.
In even numbered years, reports are due January 15 and July 15 only. Period I covers elected officials, former candidates who still have active campaign treasurer appointments or campaign debt, and Political Action Committees.
The City Secretary is required by Section 254.040, Texas State Election Code, to maintain such reports for a period of two years after the date each report is filed.
