COMPLIANCE CASE MADE PUBLIC
WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission has recently made public
its final action on one matter previously under review (MURs). This release
contains only disposition information.
Alfred C. Sharpton and Reverend Al Sharpton Presidential
Exploratory Committee with Luis A. Miranda as treasurer violated the Act
by failing to file a statement of candidacy designating his principle
campaign committee within 15 days of becoming a candidate; failing to
file an amended Statement of Organization 10 days after it was
designated as his principle campaign committee and failing to timely
file the 2002 Year End and 2003 April Quarterly Reports.
DOCUMENTS ON PUBLIC RECORD:
Documents from this matter are available
from the Commission’s web site at fec.gov by entering 5363 under case
number. They are also available in the FECs Public Records Office at 999
E St. NW in Washington.
*There are four administrative stages to the FEC enforcement process:
1. Receipt of proper complaint
3. "Probable cause" stage
2. "Reason to believe" stage
4. Conciliation stage
It requires the votes of at least four of the six Commissioners to take
any action. The FEC can close a case at any point after reviewing a
complaint. If a violation is found and conciliation cannot be reached, then
the FEC can institute a civil court action against a respondent.
