Request for Proposals
Campaign Finance Reporting System
The North Carolina State Board of Elections (SBE), in coordination with, Office of the State Auditor, have issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking qualified vendors for a modernized campaign finance reporting system that is secure, cloud-based, and improves the user experience. The modernized system shall ensure prompt access to data and make it easier for the public to search, understand, and track reported political spending over elections, election cycles, and calendar years.
The SBE seeks a solution that offers step-by-step filing of statements, certifications, and disclosure reports that: prevents incomplete submissions, reduces user error, and guides users towards compliance.
The envisioned system will facilitate communication between filers and election administrators, while also protecting sensitive information, maintaining data integrity, and preserving the SBE’s ability to permit the inspection and examination of public records.
In addition to facilitating communication, the solution shall serve as the primary application for election administrators to efficiently carry out their administrative and compliance responsibilities for campaign finance.
The modernized campaign finance reporting system shall allow for regular updates and enhancements, so the system can evolve as technology, law, and election administration evolves in the decades to come.
