Bookkeeping Procedures

(1) A candidate must adopt a record-keeping system to distinguish between contributions made for a primary election and those made for a general election. Contributions received for a general election may not be spent in the preceding primary election, but any funds remaining from a primary election may be used in a subsequent general election. (2) A candidate through his/her record-keeping system must be able to determine the aggregate amount of contributions received per election from each contributor. (3) A candidate must have a bookkeeping system in place documenting contributions and expenditures. The Registry recommends that candidates and their committees maintain copies of all contributions received or in the alternative a journal or listing of contributions and expenditures.
