The electronic filing program is administered by the State Ethics Commission and was built in partnership with the official Web site of the state of South Carolina (www.SC.gov). The solution earned the state an A+ and a top ranking in the electronic filing program category among all states.
Campaign finance reports are available through SC.gov and show the public what individuals and interests donate to candidates and how the candidates spend that money. Users can search by individual or committee/organization names, contributions and expenditures, and sort and download results. This application improves government transparency by making the information immediately available to the public to query, view, download and print.
About SC State Ethics Commission
The State Ethics Commission was created in 1975 with responsibilities for financial disclosure, campaign disclosure, and ethical rules of conduct. In 1990 and 1991, Operation Lost Trust gave impetus for a new statute, the Ethics Reform Act of 1991. That Act expanded the size of the Commission and gave it additional responsibilities to include lobbyist registration and disclosure, financial disclosure, campaign practices, and ethical rules of conduct.
