Switching filing frequency

February 1, 2022

PACs and some party committees have the option to file reports on a monthly or quarterly filing schedule, and may change their filing frequency one time per year. During a federal election year (such as 2022), committees active in several states may find it easier to file on a monthly schedule to avoid having to file pre-primary reports for each election in which they make a previously undisclosed contribution or expenditure. To switch your committee’s filing frequency, submit a Form 99 to notify the Commission of the change. Committees that filed semi-annually last year automatically file on the quarterly schedule in 2022; they need only submit a change notification to switch to a monthly schedule. Consult our Dates and Deadlines webpage for full reporting information, and consider attending our Feb. 23 2022 Filing Dates Overview discussion.
