Question 1

How do I notify the Commission that my candidate committee does not plan to receive contributions or make expenditures of more than $1,000 for the election period and would like to receive the filing waiver for certain reports in an election year?

Tony · Accepted Answer

By June 30th of an election year, a candidate who does not plan to receive aggregate contributions or make aggregate expenditures of more than $1,000 for the election period must notify the Commission by checking the appropriate box when completing the “Candidate Committee Electronic Filing Form” or by checking the appropriate $1,000 or less box in the committee’s organizational report in the Candidate Filing System, if the committee is already registered with the Commission. A candidate whose aggregate contributions and expenditures for the election period total $1,000 or less, need only electronically file the Final Election Period Report which is due thirty (30) days after a general election.

However, if the candidate exceeds the $1,000 threshold at any time during the election period, the candidate 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 candidate terminates his/her committee’s registration with the Commission or enters a subsequent election year in which the candidate committee does not plan to receive aggregate contributions or make aggregate expenditures of more than $1,000 for that election period.
