§ 2-03 Amendments to Registration.
RCNY § 2-03
(a)The candidate must notify the Board of any material change in the information required to be listed on the candidate’s registration including any new information or any change to any required information, concerning any political committee, bank account, merchant or payment processor account, candidate or treasurer employment, address, telephone number, or email address, in such manner as may be provided by the Board, if such change occurs prior to the covered election or within a period of five years from the filing of a final statement showing satisfaction of all liabilities and disposition of all assets arising from the covered election, including payment of any penalties or repayment of public funds owed to the Board. Such notification must be submitted no later than the next deadline for filing a disclosure statement, or, in the case of changes that occur after the deadline for the final disclosure statement required to be filed, no later than 30 days after the date of the change.
(b)A candidate may amend the Certification with regard to the specific office sought on or before the certification deadline or prior to receiving public funds, whichever happens first.
(i)A candidate may amend the Certification with regard to the specific office sought if the Board declares an extraordinary circumstance pursuant to § 3-703(1)(c)(iii) of the Code, provided that such declaration pertains to the election for either the candidate's original office sought or the candidate's new office sought. The candidate must refund the excess portion of any contributions that exceed the limits applicable to the new office sought, raise additional funds required to meet the threshold applicable to the new office sought, and repay any amount of public funds previously received that exceeds the amount the candidate is eligible to receive for the new office sought. A candidate who fails to promptly satisfy the requirements of this paragraph may be required to repay all public funds previously received for the covered election.
(ii)Absent a declaration of an extraordinary circumstance, a candidate who amends the Certification with regard to the specific office sought after receiving public funds shall remain a participant, but shall be ineligible to receive additional public funds for the covered election and shall be required to repay all public funds previously received for that election.
(c)If the treasurer of a candidate's principal committee resigns or is removed, the Board will consider the candidate to be the treasurer of the principal committee until the candidate submits an amended Registration that designates a new treasurer.
