Oklahoma’s local election candidates can now comply with a new campaign finance state law by using a temporary electronic filing system.

Oklahoma Ethics Commission officials said candidates filing for local elections will ultimately be integrated into the existing Guardian system in the coming months once upgrades are completed, but for now they can file electronically using a temporary portal, according to a news release.

The new filing system impacts candidates running for county, municipal, school district and technology center offices.

Senate Bill 890, which took effect Nov. 1, moved campaign finance reports and disclosures for local jurisdictions to the purview of the Oklahoma Ethics Commission.
