Campaign finance requirements govern how much money candidates and campaigns may receive from individuals and organizations, how they must report those contributions, and how much individuals, organizations, and political parties may contribute to campaigns. In addition to direct campaign contributions, campaign finance laws also apply to third-party organizations and nonprofit organizations that seek to influence elections through independent expenditures or issue advocacy.

This page provides background on campaign finance regulation, lists contribution limits to state candidates and ballot measures in Nevada, compares contribution limits to gubernatorial and state legislative candidates in Nevada with those from other states, and details the candidate reporting requirements in Nevada.

The information on this page pertains to candidates for state office and state ballot measures. Candidates for federal office are subject to federal campaign finance law. Candidates for local office are subject to all applicable state laws as well as any separate local campaign finance regulations.^[1]

As of July 2025:

Individuals, political committees, political parties, corporations, and unions could all contribute $5,000 per election to gubernatorial and state legislative candidates.

Background

Seal of the United States Federal Election Commission

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is the independent regulatory agency that administers and enforces federal campaign election laws. The FEC is responsible for disclosing campaign finance information, enforcing limits and prohibitions on contributions and overseeing public funding of presidential elections.^[2] According to the FEC, an individual becomes a federal candidate and must begin reporting campaign finances once he or she has either raised or spent $5,000 in his or her campaign. Within 15 days of this benchmark, the candidate must register with the FEC and designate an official campaign committee, which is responsible for the funds and expenditures of the campaign. This committee must have an official treasurer and cannot support any candidate but the one who registered it. Detailed financial reports are then made to the FEC every financial quarter after the individual is registered. Reports are also made before primaries and before the general election.^[3]

The Supreme Court of the United States has issued a number of rulings pertaining to federal election campaign finance regulations. In the 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, the court held that corporate funding of independent political broadcasts in candidate elections cannot be limited. The court's decision also overturned the ban on for-profit and not-for-profit corporations and unions broadcasting electioneering communications in the 30 days before a presidential primary and in the 60 days before a general election.^[4] In the SpeechNOW.org v. Federal Election Commission decision, the first application of the Citizens United decision, the court held that contribution limits on what individuals could give to independent expenditure-only groups, and the amount these organizations could receive, were unconstitutional. Contribution limits on donations directly to candidates, however, remained unchanged.^[5]^[6] In 2014's McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission decision, the court overturned biennial aggregate campaign contribution limits, and held that individuals may contribute to as many federal candidates as they want, but may only contribute up to the federal limit in each case.^[7]

While the FEC governs federal election campaigns and contribution limits, individual states enforce their own regulation and reporting requirements. Regulations vary by state, as do limits on campaign contributions and third-party activities to influence elections. Candidates for local office must follow any applicable state and local campaign finance regulations.

Candidate reporting requirements

Seal of Nevada

See statutes: Title 24, Chapter 294A of the Nevada Revised Statutes

This section covers all campaign finance reporting requirements for candidates running for state office in Nevada. Candidates running for federal office must file with the Federal Election Commission.

Definitions

The following is a list of definitions of terms used in campaign finance reporting in Nevada.

Contributions are gifts, loans, conveyances, deposits, payments, transfers or distributions of money or anything of value other than the services of a volunteer.^[9]
Expenditures are any money paid to advocate the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate or group of candidates, including any money paid for advertising or communication on television, radio, billboards, posters, newspapers or mail.^[10]
Campaign expenses are all expenses incurred by a candidate for a campaign, including but not limited to: expenditures, office expenses, travel expenses, expenses related to volunteers, paid staff or consultants, polling expenses, special event expenses, filing fees and the disposal of unspent contributions.^[11]
A candidate is an individual who does any of the following: files a Declaration of Candidacy, files an Acceptance of Candidacy, has his or her name appear on an official ballot in any election, or receives contributions in excess of $100.^[12]

Reporting requirements

All campaign finance reports are filed electronically with the Nevada Secretary of State through a system called Aurora. The online filing system can be accessed here. Paper reports will only be accepted from a candidate who did not receive or spend more than $10,000 after becoming a candidate or from a candidate who filed an affidavit stating that he or she does not have the necessary technology to report electronically.^[13]^[14]^[15]

Financial Disclosure Statement

Each candidate must electronically file a Financial Disclosure Statement (FDS) with the Nevada Secretary of State. This form is due 10 days after the last day of the candidate filing period, which is the second Friday after the first Monday in March. This form is also required from a candidate who has been successfully elected to public office. Once elected, he or she must file the FDS by January 15 of each year he or she holds office.^[15]

Contributions and Expenses Reports

Contributions and Expenses Reports (C&E reports) are used to report all contributions and campaign expenses exceeding $100, including multiple contributions from a single contributor that cumulatively exceed $100, as well as all loans or written commitments. Contributions and campaign expenses of less than $100 must also be reported, but they can be reported as aggregate total and do not need to be itemized.^[13]^[14]^[16]

Within one week of receiving a contribution of $100 or more, a candidate must open a separate campaign account in a financial institution and must not commingle the money in that account with money collected for any other purpose.^[15]^[17]

Each candidate must file five C&E reports during the year of the election in which he or she is running, even if he or she withdraws, receives no contributions or loses in the primary. However, if the candidate does withdraw or lose in the primary, he or she is allowed to file all required reports at one time, as long as his or her campaign balance stands at zero and the candidate files a Notice of Completion of Campaign form.^[15]^[18]

An annual report is required from some candidates in addition to the five C&E reports. It is required only if a candidate receive $10,000 or more in contributions prior to the year of the election in which he or she is running. If such contributions are received, an annual report must be filed by January 15 of the year immediately following the year the contributions were received. If such contributions are received more than a year in advance of an election, an annual report must continue to be filed every January 15 until the year of the election arrives and any contribution or campaign expense in excess of $100 must be reported, along with the total of any other contribution or expenditure.^[15]^[19]

The following table details the reporting timetable.^[15]^[13]

Table
Report	Time period covered	Due date
C&E Report 1	January 1 through 25 days before the primary election	21 days before the primary election
C&E Report 2	24 days before the primary election through 5 days before the primary election	4 days before the primary election
C&E Report 3	4 days before the primary election through 25 days before the general election	21 days before the general election
C&E Report 4	24 days before the general election through through 5 days before the general election	4 days before the general election
C&E Report 5	4 days before the general election through December 31	January 15

In order to file a Notice of Completion of Campaign form to close a campaign, campaign funds need to show a zero balance. If a candidate has an excess of campaign funds after an election, he or she may dispose of those funds in the following ways in order to officially close the campaign:^[20]

return the excess funds to contributors
use the funds in the candidate's next election or for the payment of other public office expenses
contribute to other candidates' campaigns
contribute to a political party
donate to any tax-exempt nonprofit entity
donate to any government entity

Late fees

Late fees are applied to any report that is filed after its due date. Late fees are summarized in the table below.^[15]^[21]

Table
When the report is filed	Fee applied
1 to 7 days late	$25 per day
8 to 15 days late	$50 per day
More than 15 days late	$100 per day, up to a maximum of $5,000
