Public Draw

Pursuant to section 90001 of the Political Reform Act and section 18991 of the Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations, a public draw is held every odd year. Lobbying firm and lobbyist employer audits are required to be drawn in February of every odd-numbered year. Local candidates and committees will be selected at the same time as candidates for the Legislature in a direct primary or general election are selected for audit, or as soon as feasible thereafter. This page provides information about the dates of the public draws and their corresponding results. The criteria for each type of draw can be found on the Audit Program Page.
