In North Carolina, there is one primary agency involved in campaign finance regulation: the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
Authority
North Carolina requires candidates and political action committees to report finances and expenditures to the North Carolina State Board of Elections. The board is empowered to create the forms used for campaign finance reports, to prepare and file such reports, to investigate alleged failures to properly file reports, to assess and collect civil penalties, and to report violations to district attorneys for prosecution.[1]
Organization
The board consists of five registered voters appointed by the governor to four-year terms. No more than three members may belong to the same political party. Members may not serve more than two consecutive terms. According to North Carolina election law, "[t]he Governor shall appoint the members from a list of nominees submitted to him by the State party chairman of each of the two political parties having the highest number of registered affiliates as reflected by the latest registration statistics published by the State Board of Elections. Each party chairman shall submit a list of five nominees who are affiliated with that political party."[2][3]
