Commission Cites Committees for Failure to File Florida and Wisconsin Pre-Primary ReportsOn August 10, 2012, the Commission cited five campaign committees for failing to file the 12-Day Pre-Primary Election Report required by the Federal Election Campaign Act (the Act), for the Florida and Wisconsin primary elections held on August 14, 2012. As of August 9, 2012, the required disclosure report had not been received from:
The report was due on August 2, 2012, and should have included financial activity for the period July 1, 2012, through July 25, 2012. If sent by certified or registered mail, the report should have been postmarked by July 30, 2012. The Commission notified committees involved in the Connecticut, Florida, Minnesota and Wisconsin primary elections of their potential filing requirements on July 9, 2012. Those committees that did not file on the due date were sent notification on August 3, 2012 that their reports had not been received and that their names would be published if they did not respond within four business days. Other political committees that support Senate and House candidates in elections, but are not authorized units of a candidate's campaign, are also required to file quarterly reports, unless they report monthly. Those committee names are not published by the FEC. Further Commission action against non-filers and late filers is decided on a case-by-case basis. Federal law gives the FEC broad authority to initiate enforcement actions, and the FEC has implemented an Administrative Fine program with provisions for assessing monetary penalties.
