The Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) is an independent state agency in Boston, MA, responsible for administering the campaign finance law and limited public financing program for statewide candidates. They receive and review reports of contributions and expenditures made by candidates and political committees, ensuring compliance with regulations. OCPF places a strong emphasis on education, providing guides, videos, and in-person programs to help candidates and stakeholders navigate the campaign finance law. OCPF is headed by a director appointed by a bi-partisan commission, serving a six-year term. They maintain thousands of reports from state and local candidates and political committees, overseeing those who file with OCPF and providing oversight for others who file with local election officials. Most reports filed since January 2002 are available on their website, while earlier reports can be accessed by appointment at their office in Boston. Local election officials also maintain reports for a period of six years and post them on their websites for candidates and committees with significant activity.Generated from the website
