The Contributions section is the primary location for managing contributions. All contributions are entered, edited and amended under this link.

By selecting Search Contributions, or View Contributions, the user may conduct a search based on specific parameters entered and then choose to print a report of one or all of the entries, edit a contribution, add new contributions, etc.

Manage_Contributions_Main2023

In the fields and drop-down lists of the Search Contributions portion of the screen, enter or select the specific search parameters. All of the fields and drop-down lists are optional; the one exception to this rule is that a Reporting Period must be selected if an Election Year is entered.

In addition, the Special Election Contribution option only becomes available if the contest to which the account type is associated is part of a special election as determined by the State Canvassing Board.
