those reports electronically unless the person is eligible to claim an exemption. Please check the

electronic filing.
FILLING OUT THE FORMS
All reports filed on paper must be either handwritten in ink or typewritten. If you complete the
report by hand, please print everything other than your signature.
If you are filing with the Ethics Commission, you may use your own computer-generated form if it
provides for disclosure of all the information required on the commission's form and it is
substantially identical in paper size, color, layout, and format. A substitute form that is substantially
identical to the commission's prescribed form may be submitted for pre-approval by the
commission's executive director.

schedules on which you have information to report.
You must keep an exact copy of each report filed and all records necessary to complete the report for
at least two (2) years after the deadline for filing the report.
If you have questions, please call our office at (512) 463-5800.
ETHICS COMMISSION GUIDES
The Ethics Commission publishes a campaign finance guide for each type of filer. These guides are
designed to explain your responsibilities as a filer. The commission encourages you to read the
appropriate guide before you begin accepting political contributions or making or authorizing
political expenditures.

You may use photocopies of Ethics Commission forms. For example, if the space provided on
Schedule A is insufficient, you may make copies of a blank Schedule A form and attach more pages
as needed.
