Campaign Spending Commission

By the fifth calendar day before the due date of the preliminary primary report due ten days before the election, a noncandidate committee that does not plan to receive contributions or make expenditures of more than $1,000 for the election period must notify the Commission by checking the appropriate box in the noncandidate committee’s Organizational Report.  The noncandidate committee will only need to electronically file the Final Election Period Report due thirty (30) days after a general election, and subsequent Supplemental Reports, but must file reports before that if they exceed the $1,000 threshold at any time during the election period.

However, if the noncandidate committee exceeds the $1,000 threshold at any time during the election period, the noncandidate committee must file the next required report (i.e., preliminary, final, or special election report) and disclose all activity from the beginning of the election year through the reporting period in which the threshold was exceeded.  All subsequent reports must be filed thereafter until the noncandidate committee terminates their committee’s registration with the Commission or enters a subsequent election year in which the noncandidate committee does not plan to receive contributions or make expenditures of more than $1,000 for that election period.
