70.1. How Do I E-File My Missouri Report?
E-Filing Your Missouri State Report
Unfortunately, the state of Missouri does not allow for compliance reports to be filed directly through third-party software like Campaign Manager, but the process of doing so is still a fairly simple task. In order to file a state report for Missouri, two steps must be taken:
1. Create the report e-file in Campaign Manager.
2. Submit the report through the Missouri Ethics Commission (MEC) Campaign Finance Reporting System.
How Do I Create the Report E-file in Campaign Manager?
From the Compliance Reports page in Campaign Manager, either start a new report, or open an existing one. Once you have filled out all of the proper criteria for the report and click the Generate button, you will see a page resembling the one below. Once your report has generated successfully, you will want to download the file from the "ZippedEfiles" link at the bottom of the Electronic report(s) section. Once you have that, you will be free to move onto the MEC Campaign Finance Reporting System.
How Do I Upload my Report E-File to the MEC Campaign Finance Reporting System?
In order to upload your report e-file to the MEC system, you will need your MECID, password, and email address to log in. Once you are logged, you will be immediately brought to the Report Upload page, as seen below. To upload the report e-file, please follow the steps below:
1. Enter your mail address in order to receive confirmation.
2. Click the "Choose File" button, and then navigate to your e-file, select it, and click "Open". Note: The MEC requires that the full .zip folder be uploaded, so there is no need to extract any files - the .zip file that is generated by and downloaded from Campaign Manager will be uploaded as is.
3. Click the "Submit Draft" button.
The MEC system will then validate the report - if there are any error messages, they will appear in the Messages box. If not, you can then view a PDF of the report by clicking the "View Draft" button, submit the report by clicking the "Final Submit" button, or delete it by clicking the "Delete Draft" button. Once you are satisfied with the report and have submitted via the "Final Submit" button, then you are finished!
