Campaign and Political Finance

The Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance is an independent state agency. Its focus is to administer the state's campaign finance laws and the limited public financing program for statewide candidates.

The State Library has many of their reports and their quarterly newsletter both in tangible copies (paper) and online. The tangible documents may be viewed in room 341 of the State House, Mondays through Fridays from 9 to 5. The call number for the quarterly report is: MR 353.21 M3 OI27. The collection starts with volume 1, no. 1 in 1995. The online version is available at http://archives.lib.state.ma.us/handle/2452/36800.

The agency has its own website where one can file reports that are required by candidates: www.mass.gov/ocpf

The Library is a repository for state documents and invites all to visit us in person or on line at www.mass.gov/lib
