Although you may begin entering your committee’s transactions immediately after you install the IDIS software, you will not be able to electronically file your reports until you have established a filer account with the State Board of Elections.

The Filer Account is a unique user name that a political committee will choose for the purpose of filing with IDIS 2. If the committee has a FID number they will not need to establish a Filer Account, the FID number will be the Filer Account. A Filer Account may be obtained by calling or e-mailing the Springfield office after the political committee has filed a Statement of Organization.

State Board of Elections

In order to obtain a Filer Account, a committee must choose an account name and a password. The password must be at least 6 characters long.

The name of at least one contact person, a day-time phone number, and a 9-digit identification number unique to that person are required for security purposes. An e-mail address and a second contact person may also be designated.

Password and contact person information may be changed if necessary by contacting the Board. This information can be changed only if a current contact person contacts the Board and provides his 9-digit personal identification number.
