PDC sends overdue notices to candidates with late 7-day pre-primary report
The Public Disclosure Commission sent overdue notices to 20 candidates this week who appeared to have missed the deadline for a mandatory pre-primary spending report.
State law requires candidates and committees who are participating in the primary election and registered as full reporters (required for those who raise and spend more than $7,000) to file expenditure (C-4) reports 21- and 7-days prior to the general election and on the 10th day of the month following the election regardless of how much financial activity the campaign had.
The pre-primary report due on July 28 covered campaign spending during the period between July 14 and July 27. The post-election report is due on Sept. 10. The PDC maintains a list of filing deadlines and other reporting resources on its website.
On July 30, the following candidates received notices of possible non-compliance for not filing the report.
Campaigns that fail to file mandatory reports will be subject to enforcement action. Improving compliance with mandatory expenditure reporting deadlines is one of the Commission’s strategic goals.
