Leslie R. Swan <br /> Supervisor of Elections <br /> Indian River County <br /> Your Vote Is Your Voice...Speak Up! <br /> July 31, 2013 <br /> The Honorable Joseph Flescher, Chairman <br /> Board of County Commissioners <br /> Indian River County, Florida <br /> 1801 27th Street, Building A <br /> Vero Beach, FL 32960-3388 <br /> (W Dear Chairman Flescher: <br /> All candidates, political committees, and party executive committees of political parties, who are <br /> required by law to qualify with their local supervisor of elections, must also file campaign finance <br /> reports with their local supervisor of elections. The frequency of these reports will increase <br /> beginning on November 1, 2013 as a result of new legislation contained in House Bill 569 which <br /> was signed into law on May 1, 2013. <br /> The Indian River County Supervisor of Elections is pleased to propose a change in procedure <br /> for filing campaign finance reports. Currently, the Supervisor of Elections requires all campaign <br /> finance reports to be submitted electronically, in addition to, submitting the original paper report <br /> to the Election's office. I am requesting authorization from the Board of County Commissioners <br /> to only require electronic filing of campaign finance reports of local candidates, political <br /> committees and county executive committees of political parties who file with the Supervisor of <br /> Election's office. Due to the increased frequency of reporting dates, report filing by electronic <br /> means only, will reduce the workload of the elections staff. It will also be a convenience to the <br /> candidates, political committees and executive committees of political parties who will no longer <br /> have to travel to the Elections Office to submit their"hard copy" reports in person. <br /> The Supervisor of Elections already has the technology in place for electronic filing of campaign <br /> finance reports. The purpose of the attached proposed resolution is to make it official that <br /> campaign finance reports need only be submitted electronically to the Supervisor of Elections <br /> office, eliminating the need to provide a paper copy as well. <br /> 4375 43rd Avenue, Vero Beach, FL 32967 • (772) 226-3440 • FAX (772) 770-5367 72 <br /> www.voteindianriver.com <br />
