1The period covered by any statement begins on the day after the closing date of the last statement filed, or January 1, if no previous statement has been filed.

2 All recipient committees not filing a pre-election report must file the Supplemental Pre-Election Report if contributions totaling $10,000 or more are made to committees primarily formed to support or oppose the ballot measure during the corresponding period.

3 The recipient of a late in-kind contribution must file a late contribution report within 48 hours from the time the in-kind contribution is received.

Additional Notes:

  • County General Purpose Recipient Committees:
    County general purpose recipient committees that make independent expenditures totaling $1,000 or more to support or oppose a single ballot measure have additional reports to file. If the payments are made during a pre-election reporting period, the committee must file the form 465 with the county, in addition to its regular semi-annual report, due July 31, 2005. If the payment is made within the 24-hour reporting period listed above, the committee must file a Form 496 with the county. In addition, if the Form 496 is required to be filed, the Form 465 must be filed with the county by January 31, 2006, in addition to the committee’s regular semi-annual report.

  • Except for deadlines that fall on a Saturday, Sunday, or an official state holiday, there is no provision in the law for extending a filing deadline. Late statements are subject to a $10 per day late fine.

  • All statements are public documents.

  • Local jurisdictions may impose contribution limits and additional filing requirements.
