Article Guide

The New Jersey R 3 form, officially known as the Receipts and Expenditures Quarterly Report, plays a crucial role in the transparency and accountability of campaign finance within the state. It is mandated by the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission and must be completed by various types of committees, including candidate committees, political party committees, and legislative leadership committees. The form requires detailed reporting of monetary receipts and expenditures, ensuring that all financial activities are accurately documented over specified reporting periods. Key sections of the R 3 form include depository information, a net financial summary, and itemized tables for both receipts and expenditures. Committees must provide information such as cash on hand, contributions received, loans, and various types of expenditures, including operating disbursements and contributions made to other candidates or committees. Additionally, the form includes a treasurer certification section, where the treasurer affirms the accuracy of the information provided. This comprehensive reporting mechanism not only aids in regulatory compliance but also serves to enhance public trust in the electoral process by promoting financial transparency among political entities.
