Effective Wednesday, September 02, 2009, the New York State Board of Elections implemented a new regulation that eliminates duplication of filing with multiple Boards of Elections.  [9NYCRR6200.1(d)(2)]

If your committee raises and/or spends MORE THAN $1000 you are required to file your reports ELECTRONICALLY with the New York State Board of Elections.  You are NO LONGER REQUIRED to file the reports with Suffolk County as long as they are filed with New York State . 

If your committee DOES NOT EXCEED the $1000 threshold, you are still required to file your In Lieu Of statement with Suffolk County Board of Elections.

The above regulation pertains ONLY to filing Financial Disclosure reports and DOES NOT pertain to registering a committee.  ALL committees raising and/or spending money in support or opposition of a local office, (i.e. Suffolk County or Town offices) must Register their committee with Suffolk County Board of Elections.

You may obtain further information and all of the necessary forms for registering your committee by clicking on this link to the New York State Board of Elections: http://www.elections.state.ny.us/
