SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Principal Campaign Committees
All principal campaign committees of candidates who participate in the Illinois Special Primary and Special General Elections shall file a 12day PrePrimary Report on January 24, 2008; a 12day PreGeneral Report on February 25, 2008; and a 30day PostGeneral Report on April 7, 2008. (See chart below for the closing date for each report).
All principal campaign committees of candidates participating only in the Special Primary Election shall file a 12day PrePrimary Report on January 24, 2008. (See chart below for the closing date for each report).
Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees)
Political committees filing on a quarterly basis in 2008 are subject to special election reporting if they make previously undisclosed contributions or expenditures in connection with the Illinois Special Primary or Special General Elections by the close of books for the applicable report(s). (See chart below for the closing date for each report).
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,
[[Page 71411]]
unauthorized committees that trigger the filing of the PrePrimary
Report will be required to file this report on two separate forms. One
form to cover 2007 activity, labeled as the YearEnd Report; and the
other form to cover only 2008 activity, labeled as the PrePrimary Report. Both forms must be filed by January 24, 2008.
Committees filing monthly that support candidates in the Illinois Special Primary or Special General Election should continue to file according to the monthly reporting schedule.

Special Election may be found on the FEC Web site at http://www.fec.gov/info/report_dates.shtml .
