Reporting and FECFile help

The Commission will kick-off the election year by hosting reporting and electronic filing workshops on January 18, 2006. The reporting workshops will address common filing problems and respond to questions committees may have as they prepare to file their January 31 year-end reports. The workshops will be followed by a half-hour reception at which each attendee will have an opportunity to meet the campaign finance analyst who reviews his or her committee’s reports. The electronic filing sessions will provide hands-on instruction for committees that use the Commission’s FECFile software and will address questions filers may have concerning electronic filing.

Attendance is limited to 30 people per session for reporting workshops, and 16 people per session for the electronic filing workshops. Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Please call the FEC before registering or sending money to ensure that openings remain. The registration form is available on the FEC website and from Faxline, the FEC’s automated fax system (202/501-3413, request document 590). For more information, call the Information Division at 800/424- 9530, or locally at 202/694-1100.
