Electronic Filing

All campaign finance reports filed with the Board of Ethics must be submitted electronically through the City's Campaign Finance Filing System. Campaign finance data is publicly available and searchable online.

How to file

Before you can file, you must create an account with the City's electronic Campaign Finance Filing System. This video provides step-by-step instructions for creating a filing account.

Each candidate and committee must create a separate account. If you use a committee you set up for a previous election, you do not need to create a new account.

Create an Account

You can use the Board’s electronic system to simultaneously file documents with the Board and the City Commissioners. If you also need to file with the PA Department of State, you must either print out a paper copy of the report or export the report into text files for electronic submission.

NOTE: Filing a campaign finance report with only the Board of Ethics does not satisfy the requirement under the Pennsylvania Election Code to file reports with the City Commissioners or the Pennsylvania Department of State. For questions about the State Election Code, please call either the City Commissioners at 215-686-3469 or the Deptartment of State at 717-787-1512.

Filing Assistance

You can always contact the Board of Ethics for filing assistance at campaign.finance@phila.gov. Please include your name, preferred contact information, and the type of assistance you need. You can also leave a message at 215-686-9450 and a staff member will return your call.
