Compliance

Sleep at night. Every dollar and every edit, logged.

A filing calendar that finds you before you miss it, books that are ready the day a report is due, and a permanent record of who changed what — so nothing about your campaign is a mystery, including to you.

No credit card. No sales calls, ever.

FreedomVote’s compliance tools track your filing deadlines, keep your expense and contribution records report-ready, and log a permanent audit trail of every edit anyone makes to your data — who changed it, when, and what it said before. Filing requirements vary by state, by office and sometimes by county, so this is not legal advice. It is a calendar and a recordkeeping system built to track the deadlines that apply to your specific race, and to hand your treasurer books that are already in order.

You set your state, your office and your filing agency once. From then on, every report due date shows up on your calendar with reminders before it arrives — not the morning of. Every expense, every contribution and every in-kind gift is captured with the fields a report actually needs, so a treasurer can pull a report instead of rebuilding one from a shoebox of receipts.

The audit trail runs underneath all of it at no extra charge, on every plan — Candidate at $39 a month and Committee at $149 a month. When a new treasurer takes over, or a donor questions a number, or a chairman asks “who changed this,” the answer is already written down.

Tracking deadlines the old way

  • A filing deadline lives in the back of your treasurer’s head, or a sticky note.
  • Expenses get tracked in whatever spreadsheet survived the last laptop.
  • Nobody remembers who changed a donor total from two months ago.
  • A new treasurer inherits a shoebox and starts over from scratch.
  • You find out about a missed report from a reporter, not a reminder.

Tracking deadlines with FreedomVote

  • Every filing due date lands on your calendar the day you set up your race.
  • Reminders arrive weeks and days out — not the morning it’s due.
  • Expenses and contributions are captured report-ready as they happen.
  • Every edit is logged: who, when, what it said before and after.
  • A new treasurer opens the account and the whole history is right there.
What it actually does

Three things a spreadsheet can’t do for you

A calendar that finds you

Set your state, office and filing agency once, and every report due date — quarterly, pre-election, post-election, statement of economic interest, whatever your race requires — goes on your calendar automatically, with reminders that arrive weeks and days ahead, not the morning of. Requirements vary by state and office; this tracks the ones that apply to you.

📋

Books that are already ready

Every dollar in and every dollar out gets captured with the fields a report actually asks for — donor name, amount, date, occupation and employer where required, vendor, category, receipt. When a filing deadline arrives, your treasurer is pulling a report, not reconstructing three months of receipts at midnight.

🔒

A record nobody can quietly change

Every add, edit and deletion to your financial and donor records is logged permanently — who made it, when, and the value before and after. Nothing gets backdated or smoothed over. When a chairman changes, a donor asks a hard question, or an auditor comes calling, the answer is already written down.

What it looks like

Your deadlines, in one place — not in your head

A missed filing is a public notice with your name on it. A first-time candidate does not get a second first impression with the county clerk. The calendar exists so that never happens to you.

Every report your race requires shows up here the day you set up compliance tracking — filed reports marked and dated, upcoming ones counting down, nothing quietly slipping past. Your treasurer sees the same calendar you do, so nobody is guessing what is already handled and what isn’t.

Why this is the one thing you can’t wing

A missed filing deadline is a public embarrassment. This is how you never have one.

For a first-time candidate, an amended filing or a late notice in the local paper isn’t just paperwork — it’s the story that follows you the rest of the race. You don’t need to become an expert in your state’s campaign finance code. You need the deadlines to find you before you miss them, and a record clean enough that nobody ever has to ask what happened. That’s what this is built to do — and when the rules on your specific race are genuinely unclear, we’ll point you to your county clerk or an election attorney rather than guess.

Questions every smart buyer asks

Straight answers

Is this legal advice, or does FreedomVote file my reports for me?

Neither. Filing requirements are set by your state, your county and sometimes your specific office, and they change. FreedomVote tracks the deadlines that apply to your race and keeps your records report-ready — you or your treasurer still file, and for anything with real stakes, a local election attorney or your state board of elections is the authority, not us.

How does FreedomVote know which deadlines apply to me?

You tell us your state, your office and your filing agency when you set up compliance tracking, and we build your calendar from that. If you are unsure which reports apply to you, that is exactly the kind of question your county clerk or state board of elections can answer definitively — we would rather point you there than guess.

What happens if I still miss a deadline?

We send reminders well before a due date, not the morning of, and the calendar stays visible on your dashboard the whole cycle. But we cannot file on your behalf or waive a late fee. If a deadline is genuinely in doubt, call your clerk’s office — better an awkward phone call in September than a public notice in November.

What exactly gets logged in the audit trail?

Every add, edit and delete to your expense records, contribution records and donor file — who made the change, the timestamp, and the value before and after. Nothing can be quietly altered or backdated. It is the same discipline a good treasurer already keeps in a paper ledger, just automatic.

Can my treasurer or accountant see this without a full campaign login?

Yes. You can add a treasurer or outside accountant with access limited to financial records and the filing calendar, without handing them your voter file or volunteer list. They see exactly what they need to do their job and nothing else.

Is this an add-on, or included in my plan?

Included. The filing calendar, expense and contribution tracking, and the audit trail come standard on every plan — $39 a month for a single candidate campaign, $149 a month for a committee. No election-year surcharge, no “compliance pack” tacked on in October.
