Campaign Finance Reporting Tools

CampaignFinance.us, provides a web based, full-featured solution, billed annually, for automating the enforcement of Michigan's campaign finance law. We automate all office functions for the administration of and enforcement of Public Act 388 of 1976 (as amended), at the county level.

Our service was born as a custom solution written by our founder starting in 1999 for Michigan’s largest counties. CampaignFinance.us was created in 2011 to provide a solution that is affordable to smaller and medium-sized counties, but without sacrificing the powerful features found in our custom solution. Today we support 17 counties, including 14 of Michigan’s 20 most populous counties, with a process to handle both paper and e-Filings.

We keep track of the following items:
• Candidates, campaign committees and their associated documents
• Elections and their respective filing deadlines
• Jurisdictions
• Elective offices
• Assessment and tracking of late filing fees

Elections Office Component

The real power in CampaignFinance.us is in its ability to keep track of filing deadlines and to automatically generate associated correspondence, freeing your staff from having to keep track of dates or maintain a tickler file. We do this using data from paper filings. You scan each indvidual filing into a PDF and then upload to our servers. Once uploaded, each filing is "indexed" by the elections staff to record identifying data entered into the form. This allows our service to track any late filers and the fees they are assessed and any payments received. Once uploaded, this data is available for public search and retrival to a phone or PC.

With our service you touch the paper file once then it can be placed into archives. Those who sought to view one or more filings would need to visit to their clerk's office can now search, review and even print any filing, from any computer at any time and from just about anywhere. Our service manages your filings by removing the need to have paper campaign filings stored in your office. In 2021, we launched our eFiler service that allows Candidate Committes to enter their filings directly into system.

eFiler For Candidate Committees

Canadidate Committees can create, store and validate their filings directly into our servers.

• Filers can create, fill and validate the required report and submit electronically to the Elections Office.
• No more Paper filings for participating committees.
• Eliminates the need for Election Offices to scan, upload and key in details from a paper filing.
• Eliminates handwritten filings, making it easier for evenryone to read.
• Identifies errors from typos and bad calculations for correction.

Public Access Component

In addition to automating your elections office, CampaignFinance.us also provides citizens and members of the press easy, read-only access to the system. Citizens may search on campaign committees, offices and/or jurisdictions, and they will be able to view campaign statements and any outgoing correspondence from your office – all from the convenience of their own computer. This provides a valuable service to your constituents, and, frees your office staff to perform other functions. In our experience, once a county adopts CampaignFinance.us, visits to its elections office by citizens for the purpose of viewing campaign statements virtually cease.
