Overview

Thanks to state legislation passed last year, Indiana counties can now allow candidates to file campaign finance reports electronically. Managing candidate filings and enforcing campaign finance compliance is a complex process that requires valuable time and resources from elections staff. Modernizing and automating these processes helps ensure consistency and accuracy – reducing demands on employees and allowing them to focus on additional aspects of running and managing elections.

Government Technology is partnering with EasyVote to present this special 30-minute webinar on what Indiana counties need to know about electronic candidate filings.
Join us June 23 at 11am PT/2pm ET to find out:

How the new law works, and how it is impacting Indiana counties
How Indiana counties can leverage smart software solutions – already in place in other states across the country – to modernize candidate filings
How the right platform offers efficiency, transparency and greater ease of use
What questions Indiana counties need to ask BEFORE adopting any new technology
