This includes those running for Governor, State Legislature, City Council, School Board, Ballot Measures, or any other STATE or LOCALLY regulated committees.

Your required Political Declaration falls under the 'State/Local race' designation and will be nearly identical to the Federal declaration, however you will not be required to submit a link to your campaign's financial disclosures.

If you are a Campaign user, you will enter your political declaration information when you set up your account, however Organizations and Agencies will need to add a new Advertiser. 

The State/Local political declaration (including ballot measures!) requires the following information:

  • Official Campaign Committee Name -- This is the name that is included on your 'Paid for by' disclaimer.

  • The Campaign Committee's Authorized Agent-- This is most often your committee's Treasurer, but can also be your Campaign Chair or Manager in some circumstances. If you do not know who your authorized agent is, we recommend checking with your committee's compliance team or legal counsel. 

  • Campaign's Website URL -- This is the public facing website URL of the campaign committee. 

  • Campaign Committee's Address and Phone Number -- this should be the best address and phone number to reach the campaign. Please be aware this is listed in publicly-accessible databases. 

  • Other State-Specific Information -- If your local jurisdiction requires more specific information than this form seeks, you may use this blank to enter that information. You are responsible for providing accurate and complete compliance information for your jurisdiction.

We do not provide legal or compliance advice at any time, nor do we monitor your advertiser setup for compliance purposes. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure your declaration meets all required compliance regulations in your local jurisdiction. This article is only providing clarity on how to fill out the compliance information form inside the self-serve advertising platform.
