Candidate Filing Forms

INFORMATION REGARDING CAMPAIGN REPORTS
All candidates must file the proper campaign finance reports on the dates established by law. Federal candidates will file reports through the Federal Elections Commission (FEC), and all other candidates have a filing obligation through the state. Excluding federal candidates, all other candidates vying for office during the 2024 election cycle will use the Campaign Finance Information System (CFIS) to file their campaign finance reports. All campaigns, excluding federal offices filing with the FEC, are required to register and file reports online at https://login.cfis.sos.state.nm.us/ . Once a CFIS registration form has been approved by the SOS, the candidate will receive an email with instructions on how to set up a password and gain access to the system. Please check junk and spam folders if you haven’t received the email within 24 hours of the time the registration is submitted. Additional resources to register and file reports can be found on the Secretary of State’s website.
