The Director of the Office of Campaign Finance (OCF) administers the statutes under OCF jurisdiction pursuant to rules or regulations approved by its oversight agency, the DC Board of Elections and Ethics (the Board). The regulations for this agency can be found on the official D.C. Government website at www.dc.gov by clicking on Government and then Government Agencies and finding the Office of the Secretary (www.os.dc.gov). The link to the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations can be found at the top of the page. This agency’s rules and regulations are within Title 3, “Board of Elections and Ethics,” Chapters 30 through 37, and Chapter 99.

When the regulations require amendments, for example, as a result of the enactment of new law or the need for clarity in a particular process, the Board issues a “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” in the DC Register. After a 30-day period and barring any additional changes, the regulations become permanent upon publication of a “Notice of Final Rulemaking” in the DC Register.

Listed herein is the description of the rules governing OCF operations and those sections affected by any amendments as noted in any notice of final rulemaking:
