About the Company

The Campaign Finance Board is a nonpartisan, independent city agency that empowers New Yorkers to have a greater impact on their elections.
Our mission is to make local democracy more open, transparent, and equitable by removing barriers to participation.
We make it easier for New Yorkers to vote, meaningfully support candidates for city office, and run for office themselves.
NYC Votes, our voter engagement initiative, meets people where they are to share trustworthy election information and help New Yorkers make a plan to vote.
We publish the citywide Voter Guide, which delivers information about candidates directly to voters’ doors.
Our public matching funds program ensures small contributions can make a big difference, allowing regular people to run for office by relying on the support of other regular people, not just wealthy donors and special interests.
We lift the veil on how candidates raise and spend money, increasing transparency and accountability in local government.
We believe that when every New Yorker is empowered to participate meaningfully in elections, candidates will better reflect the communities they serve, elected leaders will be more accountable to the public, and New Yorkers will have a democracy they can truly trust.
The Public Affairs division engages New Yorkers, informs them about elections, and boosts their participation in the democratic process.
We make election information accessible and relevant, increase engagement with underrepresented communities, and cultivate a team that reflects our core values of purpose, curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.
The division includes Marketing and Digital Communications, Partnerships and Outreach, Language Access, and Public Relations.
Our division’s work includes publishing the citywide Voter Guide, running the official citywide Debates Program, and managing the voter engagement initiative, NYC Votes.
The Marketing & Digital Communications Unit is responsible for managing the agency’s branding and our direct-to-voter communications, including multi-channel advertising campaigns, social media, website content, and email and text-message outreach.
This unit also produces the city Voter Guide that we distribute to over 5 million registered voters to ensure New Yorkers know when to vote, how to vote, and who they are voting for.
