# New Jersey Public Financing Page Setup

This guide outlines how to configure your Anedot Donation Page to meet the formatting requirements of the \*\*New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission.

This guide outlines how to configure your Anedot Donation Page to meet the formatting requirements of the **New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC)** under N.J.A.C.

> **Note:** Contact ELEC directly for campaign compliance requirements. Anedot does **not** provide compliance advice or approval.

## ELEC Requirements

To qualify for matching funds under N.J.A.C. 19:25-15.17, contributions made via electronic transfer (including credit card) must be deposited directly into a matching fund account as defined in N.J.A.C. 19:25-15.14(b). Each contribution must be accompanied by:

* A deposit slip or bank/financial institution receipt identifying the contributor and amount.
* A written statement including:
  * Contributor's name (as it appears on the account)
  * Account owner's name and address
  * Billing address for the account used

**Electronic signatures** are acceptable when:

1. The contributor or authorized representative provides the required details.
2. They attest to authorizing the contribution by typing their name. *(Partnerships, LLCs, and LLPs cannot contribute electronically.)*
3. The campaign treasurer or deputy treasurer certifies that the credit card processor verifies the following:
   * Cardholder name
   * Credit card number
   * Billing zip code
   * Expiration date
   * Security code
   * Any mismatch in these details will cause the transaction to fail.

**Additional requirements:**

* Certification must be provided to ELEC before submitting contributions for match.
* A receipt or confirmation must be issued for each electronic contribution, including:
  * Name as it appeared on the credit card
  * Name as it appeared on the signature line
  * Address
  * Contribution amount
  * Date of submission

## ELEC Sample Certification

ELEC requires treasurers to submit a certification containing specific information. View a sample certification from ELEC (contact ELEC or [Anedot Support](https://www.anedot.com/getsupport) if you need the current sample document).

## Setting Up Gross Deposits

By default, Anedot accounts are set up on **Net Deposit**. To participate in New Jersey's public financing program, accounts must be switched to **Gross Deposit**, meaning the full contribution amount is deposited without processing fee deductions.

Reach out to the [Support](https://www.anedot.com/getsupport) team to request that Gross Deposits be enabled.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.anedot.com/action-pages/state-specific-pages/new-jersey-public-financing-page-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
