Campaign Finance Laws and Policies

All committees should familiarize themselves with the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act (CFDA). The Act can be found in the Code of Virginia, Title 24.2, Chapters 9.3, 9.4, and 9.5.

To assist in this understanding of the law, the State Board of Elections (SBE) has developed summaries on the laws and policies governing CFDA. Be sure to read these summaries before you become a candidate, open your campaign committee, or create an account and a statement of organization in Virginia's Committee Electronic Tracking Application (COMET).
