Workshop on general election filing requirements

The Commission will host a roundtable workshop at its Washington, DC, headquarters this fall on general election filing requirements. Intended as a general session for all types of political organizations and committees, this workshop will address special issues that arise with FEC filing in the last months of the election year. Workshop topics will include:

• Tricky filing schedules for all FEC filers in October
• The Post-General Report required of all FEC filers
• The Post-Election Detailed Summary Page (filed by campaigns)
• 48-hour notices of contributions (filed by campaigns)
• 48-hour and 24-hour reports of independent expenditures (filed by PACs and parties) and
• 24-hour notices of electioneering communications (filed by individuals and 527 organizations)

Immediately following the workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to talk with the analyst who reviews their report at a "meet and greet" with campaign finance analysts from the FEC's Reports Analysis Division.

The workshop is scheduled for September 6, 2006, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at the FEC's headquarters in Washington, DC, with the "meet and greet" following immediately afterwards from 11:00 to 11:30 a.m. There is no charge.
