Election years
All national party committees file monthly, as do state and local party committees that engage in reportable “Federal Election Activity.”
State and local party committees that don’t engage in reportable Federal Election Activity file quarterly by default in election years but may change filing frequency (for example, from quarterly to monthly) up to once a calendar year. To change filing frequency, the treasurer must first notify the FEC:
- In writing, for paper filers
- Electronically, for electronic filers
