Political Party Committee Forms and Instructions
These forms are now updateable. Please fill in the necessary fields as needed and print. These forms are used to file Pre-Election, Post Election, Quarterly, Annual, Dissolution and amended campaign statements on paper.
A state level, congressional district level or county level political party organization has 10 days to form and register a Statement of Organization as soon as it receives or spends $500.00 or more in a calendar year to influence voters for or against the nomination or election of one or more candidates in Michigan or makes expenditures for the qualification of a new political party. The statement of organization is also used to keep up-to-date contact information and request a Reporting waiver if the committee does not expect to spend or receive more than $1,000 (Review Appendix C for requirement of obtaining a reporting waiver).
