Electronic filing of reports holds many advantages over paper filing.

One advantage is the ‘Electronic Filing Waiver Program’. If a county clerk opts to participate in this program, no electronically filed documents need be filed with the county clerk. Filing these reports electronically is sufficient to satisfy the local and state/local committees’ dual filing obligation.

Therefore, if your Committee is a local or a state/local committee and your county clerk has opted to participate in this program, you need not file a copy of your electronically filed report with the county clerk.
