Candidates who raised and spent no more than $5,000 in aggregate and who did not receive more than $500 from any one contributor, including themselves, could participate in "mini reporting." These candidates were required to file a candidate registration statement and keep a record of their contributors and expenditures, but they were not required to report them unless they exceed the stated thresholds. In those cases, they were required to switch their filing status from "mini" to "full" reporting by August 31, 2015.[7]

- State parties or caucus political committees (separately): $0.95 per registered voter from January 1 to December 31
- County and legislative district parties (combined): $0.50 per registered voter from January 1 to December 31
- Individuals, PACS, unions, corporations or other entities (separately): $950 per primary and general election
