Monthly filers (election-year)
SSFs that choose to file monthly during an election year will submit 12 reports covering their financial activity:
- Nine monthly reports
- One pre-general report
- One post-general report
- One year-end report (in January following the election year)
Monthly filers don’t have to file pre-primary or special election reports.
