Personal financial disclosure

Michigan Bureau of Elections Filing, Disclosure, and Compliance Division is dedicated to promoting integrity, accountability, and public trust ensuring transparency in personal financial reporting. We are committed to providing timely, accurate, and accessible information about political contributions and expenditures, empowering the public to make informed decisions and holding participants in the electoral process to the highest ethical standards.

Setup and login

Those using MiTN for disclosure reporting must do so through MiLogin. MiLogin connects you to all State of Michigan services through one single and secure user ID. To begin filing, you will need to either log in to MiLogin or create an account.

You can do both of those at MiLogin.

To help determine whether to create a MiLogin Citizen or MiLogin Business account, use the guide.

If you’re having trouble setting up or accessing your MiLogin Account, please visit MiLogin or call 1-800-292-5973.

Public search

The MiTN system offers a search function for personal financial disclosure for filers, filings, and notifications. Use of the search function does not require an account with MiLogin.

The public search and viewing page has searchable data of personal financial disclosures filed in the MiTN personal financial disclosure application. Disclosures filed via email do not have data available for search on that page.

Due dates

Pursuant to the Michigan Public Officers Disclosure Act and Candidates for Office Disclosure Act, financial reports are due annually by May 15th. Candidates for Office have reports due on years the candidate will appear on the ballot.

If the candidate for office files a statement of organization for that candidate’s candidate committee, after May 15, in order to be nominated by a political party at the political party’s nominating convention, the report must be filed no later than 15 days after that candidate files the statement of organization for that candidate’s candidate committee.

  • Personal Finance Disclosure training webinar

    This webinar recording provides instruction on the Michigan Transparency Network (MiTN) PFD module. It includes an overview of the filing process, using the platform, what to expect after submitting a PFD report, public viewing of reports, ongoing requirements and expectations, and answers to questions. It was recorded in April 2026.

PFD forms

Public officers who are required to file a personal financial disclosure statement may use an optional fillable .pdf template form to complete the filing. This form was developed as an alternative to using the Michigan Transparency Network (MiTN), though we still recommend using MiTN as your primary method to file.
