Live training
Board staff periodically schedules live training sessions to assist regulated entities with satisfying the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 10A. Chapter 10A applies to candidates seeking election as a state constitutional officer, legislator, or judge, and their principal campaign committees. Chapter 10A also applies to political party units, political committees, and political funds that seek to influence elections for those candidates, for local candidates, or for ballot questions. Chapter 10A also applies to lobbyists and their principals.
All live training sessions are conducted using Webex and are free of charge. Recordings of past trainings are available here. Select this link to download the Webex application. If you need assistance registering for an upcoming training or have questions, please email us at cf.board@state.mn.us.
