NOTE: In the event that no candidate achieves a majority vote in the Special General Election, the Governor will call a Special Runoff Election within five (5) days of the results of the Special General Election being officially declared. At that point, another notice will be sent to committees notifying them of the reporting dates for the Special Runoff Election.
Should a Special Runoff Election be held, committees involved in both elections will be required to file Pre-General, Pre-Runoff and Post-Runoff reports.
FOOTNOTE:
[1] These dates indicate the beginning and the 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 reportable activity that occurred before the committee registered up through the close of books for the first report due.
