Lobby Electronic Filing Program (e-Lobby)
The Lobby Electronic Filing Program (e-Lobby) is a convenient online filing
option for Lobbyists and Lobbyist Agents required to file the Lobby Financial
Report Summary and the Lobby Itemized Expenditure forms. The program can also be
used to file amendments to the report forms. In addition, the program provides
faster and more accurate information to the public.
e-Lobby can NOT be used to register as a Lobbyist or Lobbyist Agent. A Lobby
Registration form and any amendments to the registration, including changes to
the addresses and adding or deleting employees, must be filed on paper and
cannot be filed electronically at this time.
Obtain a
Password
A unique password is needed for each registrant that wants to file
electronically. To obtain a password:
- Select "Obtain a Password."
- Enter the Lobby ID assigned to the Registrant. Enter ONLY the number. DO
NOT enter the A or L, the dash or the digit following the dash. For example:
A001234-5 should be entered as 001234.
- Enter Signatory Last Name. Lobbyist should enter the last name of the
individual designated to sign the reports. Individual Lobbyist Agents should
enter the registrants last name.
- Enter the email address you where you would like the password sent.
Please enter the email address twice.
- Select "Assign It" button.
An email message will be sent containing the unique password. While the
passwords do not expire, a new password for each registrant can be requested
once per day. Each time a new password is requested, a postcard notification
will be sent to the mailing address listed in our records stating that the
password has been updated.
