102.1. How Do I E-File My Washington Report?
E-Filing Your Washington Report
Aristotle software has the ability to both generate 100% complete "ready to file" e-files, as well as the ability to transmit those e-files to the state directly from our software! Once the report is generated it can be filed directly from the "Results" screen. This is available for the WA C3 and C4 reports.
In the "Electronic filing options" section on CM there are five fields:
1. In the Filer ID field, enter the WA-assigned ID for the filling committee.
2. In the Password 1 field, enter your access token provided to you by the state
3. In the Password 2 field, enter THE SAME access token you just entered in step 2 above
4. In the Email field, enter the email address to which the filing confirmation email should be sent.
5. In the Year field, enter the year of the general election for the reporting period covered by the report.
Once all that information is entered, all you need to do is click the "Efile" button and your report will be submitted to the state! The state will email you a notification of whether the report was rejected or accepted.
There's an additional check-box on CM labeled "Save ID and Password". If you've checked this box when e-filing a report, the ID and Password fields will be automatically populated for future generations of the report.
The WA Last Minute Contribution report can be filed electronically by emailing the PDF output to the email address shown at the top of the form: pdc@pdc.wa.gov.
NOTE: The state of Washington has retired the use of filing passwords. You can only file using an access token now. Once you have an access token, simply enter that token in the "Password 1" and "Password 2" fields. If you don't have an access token, simply log in to the Washington Secure Access Portal and follow the steps provided in this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGMcyUpbfi4&feature=youtu.be].
If you are new to the SecureAccessWA system, you may get a screen like the one below. From here, you'll need to click on the Add a New Service button, and select the WA PDC. Once you do so, you should be able to proceed with the steps outlined in the tutorial video above.
