Political Committees

 

Where Does a Political Committee Register? (Area, Scope and Jurisdiction)

A political committee's desired area, scope and jurisdiction will determine where the committee must register. If a political committee's area, scope or jurisdiction changes, the committee must update its organizational forms. Jurisdictional changes will require that a committee re-register with the proper entity.

1. Political committees supporting or opposing statewide, legislative, multi-county candidates and/or issues must register with the Florida Division of Elections.

2. Political committees supporting or opposing only municipal candidates or issues must register with the municipal clerk. Contact the municipal clerk for more information.

3. Political committees supporting or opposing countywide or less than countywide candidates and/or issues (except municipal) must register with the county elections’ office.

4. A political committee required to file in two or more locations only needs to file with the Florida Division of Elections.
