In 1972, I-276 was adopted which gave the public the right to know the financial affairs of candidates and elected officials in order to gauge whether a conflict may exist with government duties. The initiative also declared that the financing of election campaigns should be known and reported to the people.
The role of the county auditor's office is to provide public disclosure materials to individuals running for office.
Specific questions regarding public disclosure reporting, contribution limits, or PDC records searches should be directed to PDC.
