New System Saves Valuable Time and Enables Faster Release of
Information to Public and Media
LINCOLN, Neb.--(Business Wire)--
The Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission, in
partnership with Nebraska.gov, has developed a system that will allow
independent Committees or PACs to submit their campaign statements
electronically at http://www.Nebraska.gov.
The committees will have the opportunity to more efficiently file
their campaign statements online rather than complete the paper form.
A campaign statement discloses a committee's campaign receipts and
expenditures.
"The new online reporting system will save valuable time for the
committees and the Commission," said Frank Daley, the Executive
Director for the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission.
"Facing a busy election year, the Commission is excited about the new
possibilities that this application will provide. By having the
committees submit their campaign statements electronically, the
Commission can make this information available to the press and public
in a matter of hours."
In the next phase of its plan, the Commission will provide for the
electronic filing of Form B-7, a form by which corporations, unions
and other associations report campaign contributions. The Form B-7
should be available online in the next several months.
Funding for these projects has been provided by a grant from the
Nebraska State Records Board.
