# Montana Secretary of State, 2020 election cycle: in the Montana campaign finance record

Montana Secretary of State's page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/group/282924

Montana Secretary of State, 2020 election cycle: 66 campaigns and committees of the 2020 cycle paid Montana Secretary of State a total of $25,312.58; Montana Secretary of State gave $15.00 net of refunds to 1 campaign or committee of the 2020 cycle. The cycle is the two years 2019 and 2020. Montana Secretary of State's other cycles are listed on [Montana Secretary of State (all cycles)](/organizations/montana-secretary-of-state-g282924). Data through 2026-09-30.

A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2020 candidacy raises and spends through 2019 and 2020, so the cycle total is the whole of what it raised or paid; the year columns split the same money by the date on the filing.
