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 California Special Primary or
Special General Election by the close of books for the applicable
report(s). (See charts below for the closing date for each report.)
Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures
in connection with the California Special Primary or Special General

schedule.
Additional disclosure information for the California special
elections 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 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 2023
is $21,800. This threshold amount may change in 2024 based upon the
annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). As soon as the adjusted
threshold amount is available, the Commission will publish it in the
Federal Register and post it on its website. 11 CFR 104.22(g) and
110.17(e)(2).
