To receive a distribution of supplemental funds, a certified candidate must submit to the Commission additional qualifying contributions in compliance with the requirements of 21-A M.R.S.A. § 1125 (8-E) and this section. The Commission shall develop written procedures for candidates to submit additional qualifying contributions, lists of contributors, and related materials to facilitate efficient and orderly payments of supplemental funds.

The additional qualifying contributions attached to the corresponding original receipt and acknowledgement forms with confirmation of the contributors' voter registration according to procedures established by the Commission and the receipt and acknowledgement forms for any additional qualifying contributions collected on the Commission's online qualifying contribution service.
B. A list of the first and last names of all individuals making additional qualifying contributions, the individual's town or city of residence, the date of the submission of the additional qualifying contribution to the Commission, and a notation indicating all additional qualifying contributions collected on the Commission's online qualifying contribution service.
(1) The list must include all additional qualifying contributions being submitted and must be sorted alphabetically by last name.
(2) The list must be provided to the Commission according to procedures established by the Commission.

Within three business days of certifying that a certified candidate has submitted the required number of valid additional qualifying contributions to be eligible to receive a payment of supplemental funds under the Act [§§ 1125 (8-B) - (8-D)], the Commission will authorize a payment of supplemental funds in an amount based on number of valid additional qualifying contributions.
