Pre- and post-election reports
Congressional committees
The principal campaign committee of any candidate participating in a 2024 state primary, nominating convention or runoff election–even if unopposed–must also file a pre-election report 12 days prior to the primary, nominating convention or runoff. The principal campaign committee of a candidate participating in the general election must file Pre- and Post-General Reports. Separate notices will be sent to explain these additional reporting obligations.

Note for committees not required to file a Post-General Report (chart II)
For candidates who ran in 2024 but did not participate in the general election, the reporting period for the Year-End Report spans two election cycles. For this report only, committees should instead use the Post-Election Detailed Summary Page (Form 3, Pages 5-8). Committees should not use the normal Detailed Summary Page.
FOOTNOTE:
[1] These dates indicate the beginning and end of the reporting period. A reporting period always begins the day after the closing date of the last report filed. If the committee is new and has not previously filed a report, the first report must cover all activity that occurred before the committee registered up through the close of books for the first report due.
