 estimates.  The commissioner of revenue shall calculate and 
 certify to the board before July 1 in an election year an

 state elections campaign fund and the amount of money each 
 candidate who qualifies, as provided in section 10A.31, 
 subdivisions 6 and 7, may receive from the candidate's party 
 account in the state elections campaign fund.  This estimate 
 must be based upon the allocations and formulas in section 
 10A.31, subdivision 5, any necessary vote totals provided by the 
 secretary of state to apply the formulas in section 10A.31, 
 subdivision 5, and the amount of money expected to be available

 days after the last day for filing for office, the secretary of 
 state shall certify to the board the name, address, office 
 sought, and party affiliation of each candidate who has filed 
 with that office an affidavit of candidacy or petition to appear 
 on the ballot.  The auditor of each county shall certify to the 
 board the same information for each candidate who has filed with 
 that county an affidavit of candidacy or petition to appear on 
 the ballot.  Within seven days afterward, the board shall 
 estimate the minimum amount to be received by each candidate who 
 qualifies, as provided in section 10A.31, subdivisions 6 and 7.  
 By August 15 the board shall notify all candidates of their 
 minimum amount.  The board shall include with the notice a form 
 for the agreement provided in section 10A.322 along with a copy 
 of section 10A.25, subdivision 10.
