What can be done with unexpended funds after the election?
Candidate Committees may use unexpended funds in the following ways:
- Contribute to a political party, up to the limit
- Contribute to a new committee established by the same candidate for a new office. Limits apply as to how much may be contributed to the new committee
- Donate to an IRS recognized charitable organization
- Return to contributors
- Retain for use in a later campaign by the same candidate
If elected to office, unexpended campaign funds may be used for voter registration, political issue education (the law prohibits contributions to issue committees), postsecondary educational scholarships, or to defray reasonable and necessary expenses related to duties as an elected official (this includes communicating with constituents).
