PRESIDENTIAL COMMITTEES

November 12, 2012

**** REMINDER ****

The Post-General Election Report is due on December 6, 2012. The report covers activity from the close of the committee’s last report filed through November 26, 2012. Reports sent by registered or certified mail must be postmarked by the mailing deadline (December 6, 2012). If using overnight mail, the delivery service must receive the report by the mailing deadline (December 6, 2012). Otherwise, they must be received by the filing deadline (December 6, 2012).

NOTE:  In election years, the reporting period for the Post-General Election Report spans two election cycles. For this report only, committees should not use the normal Detailed Summary Page. Instead, committees should use the Post-Election Detail Summary Page [PDF].

WHO MUST FILE

GENERAL ELECTION CANDIDATE COMMITTEES

All principal campaign committees of Presidential candidates participating in the 2012 General Election must file a Post-General Election Report.

PRIMARY ELECTION CANDIDATE COMMITTEES, MONTHLY FILERS

Committees that have been filing on a monthly basis during 2012, but whose candidates are not participating in the General Election, have a choice between filing either the Post-General Election Report or a Monthly Report covering November which is due on December 20.

WHO NEED NOT FILE

GENERAL ELECTION CANDIDATE COMMITTEES, QUARTERLY FILERS

Committees not required to file on a monthly schedule during 2012, and whose candidates are not participating in the General Election, need not file the Post-General Election Report. These committees, however, must continue filing on a quarterly basis.

COMMITTEES NOT ACTIVE IN 2012 ELECTIONS

Committees only active in past or future elections do not file the Post-General Election Report. They continue to file according to their regular reporting schedule (monthly or quarterly).
