Campaign Finance Reporting
Campaign Committees for nonpartisan candidates participating in the Spring Election are required to file a Spring Pre-Primary Campaign Finance Report, if there is a primary for their seat, and a Spring Pre-Election Campaign Finance Report.
Any local Campaign Committee registered with MEC must file a campaign finance report in January and July, unless they are registered as Exempt.
The Wisconsin Ethics Commissions tracks due dates for all Campaign Finance Reports.
| Campaign Finance Report Type | Due Date | *Reporting Period |
|---|---|---|
| July Continuing 2026 | 07/15/2026 | 01/01/2026 - 06/30/2026 |
| January Continuing 2027 | 01/15/2027 | 07/01/2026 - 12/31/2026 |
| Spring Pre-Primary 2027 | TBD | |
| Spring Pre-Election 2027 | TBD | |
| July Continuing 2027 | TBD | |
*If there is no primary required, then the committee is expected to report on their Spring Pre-Election Campaign Finance Report, financial activity from the 01/01 through the pre-election period. If a campaign committee is not up for Election, then their July campaign finance report will report for the full six months. There should never be a gap between any reports.
