PDC sends overdue notices to 30 candidates with late post-primary report

September 14, 2026

The Public Disclosure Commission sent overdue notices last week to 30 candidates who appeared to have missed the deadline for a mandatory post-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 post-primary report due on Sept. 10 covered campaign spending during the period between July 28 and the end of August. The PDC maintains a list of filing deadlines and other reporting resources on its website. 

On Sept. 11, 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.
