How It Works
From report to SBE-ready XML in four steps
Each paid report guides you through every schedule and ends with COMET XML ready for the Virginia Department of Elections — whether your committee files quarterly year-round or your campaign is in an active election cycle.
1
Create Your Committee
Enter your committee name, address, and filing details. Set up once and reuse for every report — quarterly, midyear, or election-cycle.
2
Create Your Report
Start a new report for your filing period ($250). Each report is one complete filing — quarterly, midyear, large-contribution, or closeout — built toward SBE-compliant COMET XML.
3
Add & Review Data
Import from ActBlue, upload CSVs, scan receipts, or enter transactions manually. Walk through each schedule with plain-language guidance until your data is complete and ready to generate.
4
Generate your report XML
Generate your COMET XML — the conclusion of your report and the file you upload to the Virginia Department of Elections.
