| Request that the Board waive the $600 campaign finance late fee assessed against Barry Ivey, a candidate for State Representative, District 65 in the March 2, 2013 election, whose 2015 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 10 days late. |
|
In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, report preparer, Nikki Sykora, states that the Barry Ivey Campaign should have filed two campaign finance reports for two separate elections by February 16, 2016. One report was for a past election that has no current activity and only reports outstanding debts to the candidate, while the other report contains all of the candidate's current year receipts and disbursements. Due to an oversight, the report with activity was omitted and not received by the due date.
