About the Campaign Finance Act

The Campaign Finance Act of 2011, as amended, DC Official Code, Sections 1-1163.01 et seq. (2013), (Act) was enacted to provide a means for monitoring and enforcing the campaign finance and disclosure requirements established for candidates, principal campaign committees and all other committees, Constituent Service Programs, and Statehood Funds  in the District of Columbia.

The primary goal of this legislation is to require that local candidates seeking election to public office, the treasurers of principal campaign committees, political action committees, exploratory, transition and inaugural committees, and the constituent services and statehood fund programs make complete and full financial disclosures. Various provisions of the Campaign Finance Act are clarified by regulations promulgated by the Office of Campaign Finance (OCF) with the approval of the Board of Elections. The OCF regulations are cited under Chapters 30-41 of Title 3 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (August 2013).
