Each county election commission is authorized to develop, with the advice, assistance and approval of the registry of election finance, an Internet based electronic filing process for use by candidates for local public office and all political campaign committees for a local election in such county or in the municipalities located in such county that are required to file statements and reports with such county election commission.
Such system shall provide each candidate and political campaign committee with secure access to the electronic filing system and provide safeguards against efforts to tamper or change the data in any way.
Once the electronic filing system is completed and tested, the county election commission shall provide public notice that the system is operational and available for filers to commence use.
If a county election commission decides to develop such an Internet based electronic filing process, any and all costs for such development and Internet posting shall be an expenditure of such county election commission.
If a county election commission develops and implements an Internet based electronic filing process pursuant to this section, then the county election commission shall notify the division of elections in the secretary of state's office at least ninety (90) days prior to its use.
