FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
[NOTICE 2022-24]
Filing Dates for the Virginia Special Election in the 4th
Congressional District
AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Virginia has scheduled a special election on February 21,
2023, to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the 4th
Congressional District held by the late Representative A. Donald
McEachin. Committees required to file reports in connection with the
Special General Election on February 21, 2023, shall file a 12-day Pre-
General and a 30-day Post-General Report.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Elizabeth S. Kurland, Information
Division, 1050 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20463; Telephone: (202)
694-1100; Toll Free (800) 424-9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Principal Campaign Committees
All principal campaign committees of candidates who participate in
the Virginia Special General Election shall file a 12-day Pre-General
Report on February 9, 2023, and a 30-day Post-General Report on March
23, 2023. (See charts below for the closing date for each report.)
Note that these reports are in addition to the campaign committee's
regular quarterly filings. (See charts below for the closing date for
each report).
Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees)
Political committees not filing monthly are subject to special
election reporting if they make previously undisclosed contributions or
expenditures in connection with the Virginia Special General Election
by the close of books for the applicable report(s). (See charts below
for the closing date for each report.)
[[Page 78684]]
Since disclosing financial activity from two different calendar
years on one report would conflict with the calendar year aggregation
requirements stated in the Commission's disclosure rules, unauthorized
committees that trigger the filing of the Pre-General Report will be
required to file this report on two separate forms: one form to cover
2022 activity, labeled as the Year-End Report; and the other form to
cover only 2023 activity, labeled as the Pre-General Report. Both forms
must be filed by February 9, 2023.
Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures
in connection with the Virginia General Election will continue to file
according to the monthly reporting schedule.
Additional disclosure information for the Virginia special election
may be found on the FEC website at <a href="https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/dates-and-deadlines/">https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/dates-and-deadlines/</a>.
Disclosure of Lobbyist Bundling Activity
Principal campaign committees, party committees and leadership PACs
that are otherwise required to file reports in connection with the
special elections must simultaneously file FEC Form 3L if they receive
two or more bundled contributions from lobbyists/registrants or
lobbyist/registrant PACs that aggregate in excess of the lobbyist
bundling disclosure threshold during the special election reporting
periods. (See charts below for closing date of each period.) 11 CFR
104.22(a)(5)(v), (b), 110.17(e)(2), (f).
The lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2022
is $20,200. This threshold amount may increase in 2023 based upon the
annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). Once the adjusted threshold
amount becomes available, the Commission will publish it in the Federal
Register and post it on its website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The reporting period always begins the day after the closing
date of the last report filed. If the committee is new and has not
previously filed a report, the first report must cover all activity
that occurred before the committee registered as a political
committee up through the close of books for the first report due.
\2\ Notice that this filing deadline falls on a weekend or
federal holiday. Filing deadlines are not extended when they fall on
nonworking days. Accordingly, reports filed on paper by methods
other than registered, certified or overnight mail must be received
before the Commission's close of business on the last business day
before the deadline.
