Form C/OH - Instruction Guide
FILING A FINAL REPORT
For filing purposes, you are a "candidate" as long as you have an appointment of campaign
treasurer on file. If you do not expect to accept any further campaign contributions or to make
any further campaign expenditures, you may file a final report of contributions and expenditures.
A final report terminates your appointment of campaign treasurer and relieves you of the
obligation of filing further reports as a candidate. If you are an officeholder at the time of filing
a final report, you will be required to file semiannual reports of contributions and expenditures as
an officeholder. The only officeholders who are not required to file semiannual reports are
officeholders who file locally, who do not have a campaign treasurer appointment on file, and
who do not exceed $500 in contributions or expenditures during the reporting period.
If you are not an officeholder at the time of filing a final report and if you have surplus funds or
retain assets purchased with political funds, you will be required to file annual reports. (See
instructions for Form C/OH-UC.)
To file a final report, you must complete the "C/OH CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT" (Form
C/OH), check the "final" box in Section 9 on the cover sheet, and complete and attach the
"C/OH REPORT: DESIGNATION OF FINAL REPORT" (Form C/OH- FR).
COMPLETING THE COVER SHEET
