Campaigns must file Quarterly Reports by October 15
Reminder: Quarterly reports by authorized committees are due Saturday, October 15. Please note that the FEC does not have authority to extend filing deadlines, even when they fall on weekends or holidays. Filers should plan accordingly. Reports sent by Registered, Certified or Overnight Mail must be postmarked no later than October 15, and paper filings sent by other means must be received by close of business on the last business day before the deadline (i.e., Friday, October 14). Electronic filers have until 11:59 (EDT) on October 15 to submit their reports on time. If you need last-minute help with your FEC report, here are some resources: Every political committee registered with the FEC has a Campaign Finance Analyst who reviews its reports to ensure that they are accurate and complete. That Analyst is also available to answer your reporting questions. For those who prefer to remain anonymous, Communications Specialists are also available to assist filers with reporting questions. (Note: Tricky issues are best referred to your Analyst, since he/she will be reviewing your report.) To reach these FEC staff members, call toll-free 1-800/424-9530 (press 5 to reach your Analyst or 6 to speak to a Specialist). Reporting help is also available on-line at http://www.fec.gov/info/filing.shtml and in our Campaign Guides. For electronic filing assistance, contact the tech support number for your software vendor. FECFile users may call 1-800/424-9530 (extension 1307) for technical assistance. RAD analysts and FECFile tech support will be available until 8 p.m. EDT Friday, October 14.
