About this website
The purpose of this website tool is to file and make available Contributions &
Expenses (C&E) Reports and Financial Disclosure Statements (FDS). By using the Search feature, you are
able to view reports filed from 2004 or later, filed with the Nevada Secretary
of State's office. This tool allows you to search for a candidate or appointed
and elected public officers via the "Report Search" tab returning all records
matching the search criteria you provide. You do not need to enter an entire
name to return matching results. This search will expose reports whether they
were filed electronically online, mailed in or hand delivered.
To view filed reports for an individual or group, simply click the name within
the line item returned in your search results. Most report records stored in our
database will have a corresponding scanned document which will be available as a
link to a PDF file under the Report Link column. These are reports that were
received as paper documents that were digitally scanned so that they may be
viewed electronically. A single report may have multiple scanned documents on
file. Reports filed online are also linked under the Report Link column for you
to view as plain HTML within your web browser.
Individual contributions and expenses may now be searched via the "Contribution
Search" and "Expenditure Search" tabs. Within the contributions search results
you may click on a contributor name to view all contributions associated with
that contributor record. You may click on the Recipient name to view all
contributions received by that individual or political group. Or, you can simply
click on the Report link to bring up the actual report containing that
contribution. The expenditure results work similarly. Click on a Payee name to
view all expenditures received by that entity, click the Payer name to view all
expenditures declared by that individual or group and click the Report to
actually view the report where that expenditure was declared.
It should be noted that the contribution and expenditure data recorded in AURORA
mays not accurately reflect an individual or a group’s total because of
previously filed paper reports which are only viewable as a PDF and not data
entered. Always refer to the actual filed document for the most accurate
information. If you believe you are not finding an older document you are
looking for, you may browse all scanned documents filed in paper form by
clicking the "Click here to view archived C&E Reports/FDS paper filings" link on
this search page. However, this browsing directory does NOT include reports
filed electronically. To view the scanned PDF files you must have Adobe Reader
installed on your computer, which you may download
here.
To file a report, an account first needs to be set up, by entering the required
fields and “Register.” Use the Help
& Tips tab if you need assistance with this process, or call 775-684-5705.

present. Contribution & Expenditure search requests will only produce
results from 2006 through the present, when that data was filed online.
While electronic filing of Contributions & Expenses Reports has been available
since 2006, it did not become mandatory until January 1, 2012.
