For each election, candidates are allowed to spend money on material up to the limits established in the JEC Bylaws (listed below). Candidates are required to retain receipts for every purchase made. At the end of the election, candidates will be required to submit a "Financial Expenditure Report" listing all goods and services acquired by the candidate for use on a campaign.
Any good or service actually purchased or paid for by the candidate for their campaign shall be reported at the actual value expended by the candidate for the given good or service. Candidates must provide receipts in person or via email to prove the actual value of each good or service purchased or paid for. If the Commission requests such, the candidate must provide the original receipt(s) in person.

Donations
For each election, each candidate listed on the ballot shall be required to submit a ‘donation list’, containing a list of individuals who have made a donation to their campaign. Candidates who received no donations are still required to submit this list to the Commission.
- Even though a candidate is allowed to receive donations, they are still bound by the campaign expenditure requirements. For example, if a candidate's parents donated $500 to a candidate's campaign for SA President, the candidate may only still spend up to $300 total on their campaign. Candidates may not receive donations from student organizations.
