Digital Signatures for Electronic Filers

Beginning with the 2024 Third Quarter Report, the State Board of Elections will accept a disclosure report cover from electronic filers that is digitally signed via Adobe Acrobat Reader or other Adobe products using a certificate-based digital ID and emailed to campaign.reporting@ncsbe.gov. For more information about how to sign the disclosure report cover using this process, please refer to the instruction document that follows this paragraph. Electronic filers may also continue to use a wet ink signature on the disclosure report cover and manually deliver or mail it to the board on or before the due date.

Note: The digital signature created by this process can also be used for certifications submitted by electronic filers.

Submitting Reports

In-Person

The drop box in the lobby of the State Board office became a staple for in-person report delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. This report delivery option remains in place for committees who only need to submit a report.

Note: If the committee would like confirmation of receipt by the agency, the treasurer can request it when completing the drop box log. Confirmation will be delivered by agency staff via email.

Some Campaign Finance staff members are generally onsite at the agency’s physical location each workday. If a committee has questions prior to submitting Campaign Finance documents, the treasurer can check in with reception personnel to request an in-person consultation.

If a member of the Campaign Finance staff is not available, the treasurer can leave a phone number and email with reception personnel to schedule an appointment with Campaign Finance staff.

By Mail

The campaign finance office of the State Board of Elections strongly encourages treasurers to send all disclosure reports by certified mail or by other delivery services with proof of pickup and delivery dates. The following recommended mailing options are available for your convenience:

USPS Certified Mail
- Please use the following address for USPS when mailing reports:
  - P.O. Box 27255
    Raleigh, NC 27611-7255
Overnight delivery by FedEx and UPS
- Reports sent by FedEx or UPS overnight will require a physical address:
  - Dobbs Building, Third Floor
    430 N. Salisbury St.
    6400 Mail Service Center
    Raleigh, NC 27603-1362

For questions, email the Campaign Finance staff at campaign.reporting@ncsbe.gov. Or, call the State Board office at (919) 814-0700 and, for proper routing, let reception staff know that you have a Campaign Finance question.

Note: The treasurer is responsible for obtaining evidence of the mailing date for reports. Metered postage does not prove timely filing because a meter may be set to any date. A postmark is evidence of timely mailing, but you must request that the post office place a legible postmark on your envelope; the process is no longer automatic. Many of the letters we receive bear no postmark or illegible postmarks. Treasurers are advised to send reports through registered or certified mail.
