The June Campaign Finance reports were due on July 2nd. Alabama’s Fair Campaign Practices Act (FCPA) mandates the timely submission of campaign finance reports, with penalties for late filing escalating for subsequent offenses. Candidates failing to meet the deadlines may face civil penalties, which increase with each offense. The Act aims to ensure transparency and accountability in electoral processes by holding candidates accountable for accurate and timely reporting.
