Campaign finance
Candidates had to file contribution reports within 24 hours of receiving an aggregate total of $1,000 or more from a single source. The first scheduled pre-election report filing deadline was October 6, 2014. If candidates raised or spent less than $1,000 during the 2013 and 2014 calendar years, they had to file Form 470 at that time. If candidates raised or spent more during that time, they had to file Form 460 by the pre-election report filing deadline.[8]
Candidates required to file Form 460 also had to file a second pre-election report on October 23, 2014, and they had to file termination reports by December 31, 2014. If a termination report was not filed, candidates had to file a semi-annual report by February 2, 2015.[8]
Reports
Only one candidate, Dennis D. Hawkins, indicated he would be spending or receiving more than $1,000 in this election. Running for Trustee Area 3, his second pre-election report submitted to the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters, showed Hawkins had raised $6,525.02 and spent $5,377.62, leaving him with $1,147.40 cash on hand as of October 18, 2014.[9] His opponents in the race, Terry Tanner and Kaushik Joglekar, filed Form 470 to indicate they would not be spending or receiving more than $1,000 in this election. Because of that, they did not have to file any additional campaign finance reports.[10][11]
