As the 20th century draws to a close, campaign finance reform is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance. Today campaign managers have replaced finance committees in practice and are no longer required by law.
Most candidates administer their own finances during their campaigns.
If it could be established that a candidate's reports were indeed lacking prior to the issuance of an election certificate, the law provided that no certificate was to be issued. Exact detail in the accounting of all expenditures and contributions was specifically provided for in this act. Prohibitions and penalties were specifically detailed throughout the act. In 1975, campaign contribution and expense reporting laws were added to the Nevada Revised Statutes. Secretary of State Swackhammer became responsible for designing the campaign reporting forms and administering the Nevada Campaign Practices Act, just as his office bad always administered election laws.
