Mass Mailings
Anyone sending out mass mailings of election-related materials to over 200 addresses must file with the City Clerk.
Mass mailings of over 200 identical, or nearly identical, pieces of election-related mail need to be filed with the City of Berkeley. This requirement applies to all committees, candidates, officeholders, individuals or organizations who spend $250 or more supporting or opposing a candidate or ballot measure.

You can meet your filing requirement by filing the below documents with the City Clerk Department:
