Adjusted Limits for 2011-12 Coming Soon

January 10, 2011

As you may know, some of the limits on contributions to federal candidates and committees are adjusted each election cycle to account for changes in the consumer price index (CPI). The FEC publishes the adjusted limits immediately after it receives the CPI figures from the Department of Labor -- typically in February of odd-numbered years. In the meantime, the Commission encourages donors not to exceed the limits for the previous election cycle. We'll publish a special Tip for Treasurers to announce the new limits, so you'll be among the first to know.
