Campaign Reporting

The Buncombe County Board of Elections is responsible for the timely reporting and housing of all political campaigns which are collecting and expending funds of greater than $3,000. All reports maintain an active status until the time a final (or zero balance) report is filed. Once a report becomes inactive, it will be housed for a period of five years after which it will be properly disposed of according to General Statute.

Filing of Campaign Reports

All campaign reports are filed according to a specific schedule set forth by the North Carolina General Statutes concerning these financial disclosures. The type of reports and the Elections office where reports are filed depends upon the office sought or type of political action committee (PAC) involved. All municipal and county offices file their reports at the Buncombe County Board of Elections. All offices at the state, judicial or federal levels file their reports with State Board of Elections in Raleigh.
