Yes.

No. The MiTN system is web-based and will be made available at no charge to all users.

Yes. This software will be used by Candidate Committees, Political Action Committees, Independent PACS, Party Committees, Ballot Question Committees, Lobbyists and more.

Yes. Since your contacts are stored in your computer and the MiTN system is web-based, you may upload your contacts into MiTN. You can find information on importing contacts at MiTN contact and transaction importing instructions.

No. The system will be web-based.  A link to the system will be made available after launch.

Yes, but the report transmission will differ.  As a note, the State has already sent file formats to the known software vendors to aid your export of reports.

All users of the system will be required to utilize a MiLogin password.  MiLogin is a single user ID that connects users to all State of Michigan services.  You may already have a MiLogin ID for renewing your driver's license, viewing your state tax return status, or applying for health benefits. Lobbyists who employ lobbyist agents and businesses who provide campaign finance filing services who have employees may need to utilize a MiLogin for Business.

Businesses who provide campaign finance filing services who have employees and committees may need to utilize a MiLogin for Business.  This system will be best suited for this use and will be best utilized for firms filing multiple committees.

If you don’t already have a MiLogin, you can obtain one now.

The week of December 12, 2024, the BOE will initiate a soft launch of three of the major reporting functions of MiTN:  This will include Lobbyist Disclosure, Casino Interest Disclosure and Legal Defense Fund Disclosure.  In early January, the BOE will train users on the system for reports due on January 31.

The state’s existing campaign finance system (MERTS) is antiquated and originated more than 20 years ago.  The new system will be web based, integrate all disclosure functions, including lobby and personal financial disclosure, and allow for easier modifications as statutes change.
