You may have contributions for the general election made to the campaign before the primary.
If a donor reaches the contribution limit for contributions to the primary election, sometimes they’ll give more, and those donations are for the general election. If the candidate isn’t going on to the general, all contributions for the general election need to be returned to the donors in full. Don’t spend them.
The PDC’s IT team will be performing a database upgrade on Wednesday July 6, 2022 that will affect most filing activity and some website functionality. The planned outage is scheduled to begin at 5:30 a.m. and last for no more than two hours.
The outage will affect access to ORCA, Financial Affairs, Campaign Finance and C6 reporting.
The new threshold for expedited reporting of large, last-minute contributions is $1,500, following action by the Public Disclosure Commission at its June meeting. The change takes effect June 30, 2022, in time for the primary election’s special reporting period that begins July 26.
The Commission voted to raise the threshold for expedited reporting of large, last-minute contributions to campaigns from $1,000 to $1,500. The change takes effect June 30, 2022, in time for the primary election’s special reporting period that begins July 26.
Under the rule, contributions that reach the threshold of $1,500 and occur within seven days of a primary election and 21 days of a general election must be separately reported.
File a C-3 report for each bank deposit made in the previous month and a C-4 report that covers the period through the previous month.(February and April ballot measure committees have different reporting deadlines.)
The Public Disclosure Commission is proposing to raise the threshold for accelerated reporting of large, last-minute contributions.
