Request the Board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Clayton J. Voisin, Jr., a successful candidate for Council Member, District 3, Terrebonne, Parish, in the October 14, 2023 election, whose 2023 Supplemental campaign finance disclosure report was filed 202 days late.

Mona Voisin would like to submit a waiver on behalf of Clayton J. Voison, Jr. and states the following: After the 11/4/2023 election, Ms. Voison spoke with a BOE representative who informed her that Mr. Voison did not have to file another report. Since there were no expenditures, it was believed the report was not needed. She was unaware that incorrect information was given. Ms. Voison understands the importance of compliance and submits his reports timely. The report was immediately submitted once the matter was brought to Ms. Voison's attention.
