Campaign filers can discard older records

Beginning October 1, 2026, covered Alabama campaign filers may destroy campaign finance records after four years have elapsed. This covers political action committees, principal campaign committees, and others required to file under Alabama’s Fair Campaign Practices Act. Records include required records or accounts, copies of filed reports or statements, and all records related to those filings. The law allows destruction; it does not require it.
