May Filing Reminder

May 19, 2008

. Monthly filing committees are reminded that they have a report due tomorrow, May 20, covering the month of April. Also, campaigns in certain states (and quarterly filing PACs or party committees that made contributions to them or expenditures on behalf of them between April 1 and May 21) have a pre-election report due next week for which the mailing deadline is on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26. Please remember that filing deadlines are not extended even when they fall on federal holidays. Accordingly, if you are not an electronic filer, please plan to postmark your pre-election report by register/certified mail or by overnight delivery before the 26th. Reports filed by methods other than registered, certified or overnight mail, or electronically, must be received before the Commission’s (or the Secretary of the Senate’s) close of business on the last business day before the deadline (i.e., Friday, May 23). States affected include Arkansas, Maine, North Dakota, South Carolina and Virginia.
