New election cycle begins

November 13, 2018

November 7, 2018, marked the beginning of a new election cycle. For reporting purposes, campaigns aggregate receipts and disbursements on an election cycle basis. As a result, all 2018 campaigns must separate--both in their internal records and on their FEC reports--activity that occurred on or after November 7 from activity that occurred prior to that date, regardless of which election it relates to. Campaigns must disclose their separate election-cycle receipts and disbursements on the Post-Election Detailed Summary Page [Instructions] required with the Post-General election report due December 6 (or for campaigns that were not in the general election, with the Year-End report due January 31). For more information on winding down your 2018 campaign, attend our webinar on November 14.
