002-21 Wyo. Code R. § 21-5

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 21-5 - Establishing an Account

(a) All persons who are required by law to sign and electronically file campaign finance disclosure reports using WYCFIS must establish an on-line account.

(b) All required information requested in the on-line application form must be provided.

(c) All persons must provide a current active email address because the Secretary of State's Office will use the email address to send notifications. All persons are required to keep email addresses current.

(d) An on-line account will be created by the Secretary of State's Office after July 1, if a candidate has not created his account by that date. Creation of the candidate's account by the Secretary of State's Office does not absolve the candidates statutory obligation to file campaign finance disclosure reports.

(e) If the filing is in compliance with the law and these Rules, the Secretary of State's Office shall approve the account.

(f) The Secretary of State's Office shall review all applications for compliance with the law and these rules. Any application that is incomplete or does not contain all required information shall be rejected. In addition, the Secretary of State's Office may reject any application for the following reasons:

  • (i) Non qualified person;
  • (ii) Fictitious names;
  • (iii) Obscene language

(g) If the original purpose for the candidate's committee changes, i.e., a candidate's committee chooses to continue to support the candidate but for a different office, a new committee account for the new purpose or office must be established.

(h) The Secretary of State's Office may remove an account from active status if the responsible party fails to file the required reports. Removing an account from active status does not absolve the responsible partys statutory obligation to file campaign finance disclosure reports. To reactivate the account, the responsible party must notify the Secretary of State's Office in writing of his intent to file a report. Once the account is reactivated, the responsible party may file his report.
