Campaign Spending Commission

The Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission enforces the state's campaign finance laws, reviewing candidate and committee disclosure reports, investigating violations, and imposing fines for late filing or unreported contributions and expenditures. It sets contribution limits, determines what qualifies as a political expenditure requiring disclosure, and publishes searchable databases of all campaign finance activity. The commission operates independently to ensure elections are conducted with financial transparency.

The Campaign Spending Commission's public databases let you see exactly who is funding every candidate and ballot measure campaign in Hawaii. Residents who suspect campaign finance violations can file a complaint with the commission for investigation.
