87.1. How Do I E-File My North Carolina Report?

E-Filing Your North Carolina Report

 

Aristotle currently offers complete and "ready to file" e-files for the North Carolina State Report! Unfortunately we don't currently offer e-files for the North Carolina 48 Hour Report.

 

How Do I Download the E-File?

 

Unfortunately, the state does not currently allow third-party vendors to e-file directly into their system from other software products. That said, all you need to do is download the e-file output and then upload it into the state's system! The easiest way to do this is right click on the link for the e-file output, select "Save As", give it a suitable file name while leaving the file extension as it is, and save the file.

 

 

How Do I Upload the E-File I Just Downloaded?

 

Before you're given the ability to file ANY reports, your committee will first need be registered with the North Carolina State Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement "CF Remote" program. The CF Remote program is desktop software the filer will need to download and install. CF Remote can be downloaded from the below link:

https://www.ncsbe.gov/Campaign-Finance/reporting-software

Helpfiles and other documentation for the software is available as well at the same location.

 

General Warnings

 

We advise clients to never open the efile output before uploading unless it's strictly necessary. Often times various programs like Excel, Notepad, etc, will auto-format files in ways that renders them non-compliant with state requirements. For example, Excel will drop the leading zeros on values in cells, which can be problematic when dealing with NE zip codes.

Some states have invented file extensions for their efiles that need to be preserved, or they use older file extensions than what is generally used and can be overwritten. For example, many states have the file extension .csv for their efiles, which Excel will try to override when saving since it's generally not used. Please ensure to keep the file extension as it is so the state's system will accept the file.

North Carolina's efiling system accepts full reports, with one efile formatted as a .cfd text file. This means that the electronic format has all of the information already formatted for how the state wants these reports to appear. There's no additional steps required for preparing the report for submission beyond uploading the report. This also means that it is more difficult to make small changes to the report once it's submitted, if it's possible at all.
