Every natural or juridical person, as well as every committee, shall file the reports required by this chapter in the electronic format approved and provided by the Office of the Election Comptroller. The Election Comptroller may exempt a person or committee from the electronic filing requirement on a case-by-case basis, and only when it is proven that such person or committee lacks the capacity to file the reports using the format approved or provided by the Office of the Election Comptroller.

(a) Be produced by a software provided by the Office of the Election Comptroller that generates electronic files in the format approved by the Office of the Election Comptroller; or
(b) be an online system provided or approved by the Office of the Election Comptroller.
It shall not be necessary to submit a hard copy of any report filed electronically.
The Election Comptroller shall be responsible for ensuring that all electronically filed reports are available to the public once the same have been evaluated, as requested by the interested party. In the specific case of last-minute contributions reports, these shall be made available to the public in the same manner. The Office of the Election Comptroller shall be responsible for keeping a record of these requests.
The Office of the Election Comptroller shall keep all the information filed electronically for a term of ten (10) years, starting on the filing date.
The Office of the Election Comptroller shall provide on its webpage a list of the persons that have met the report filing requirement.
