REDDING, Calif. - Anyone planning to run for office will soon have to file their finance forms online.
Election officials believe the online system would give greater public access and transparency to campaign finance information.
The Shasta County Board of Supervisors Unanimously voted on an ordinance, which would require candidates to file their finances electronically.
But this new ordinance only applies to campaigns that spend or receive more than $2000 dollars. Campaigns that spend less than $2000 dollars can continue to file their financial forms on paper.
