State kicks off electronic campaign finance system
State election officials have launched a new electronic campaign finance filing system for political candidates that will give the public access to financial reports.
The new system by the State Elections Enforcement Commission, eCRIS, is aimed at making it easier for candidates to file statements electronically and for the public to search campaign finance records.
The system also will allow voters to review individual campaign filings, whether for a local member of the General Assembly or a candidate for governor.
Andy Sauer of Connecticut Common Cause, a political watchdog group, says the new system fixes problems that plagued the old electronic reporting site maintained by the Secretary of the State.
