SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Federal Election Campaign Act, 52 

U.S.C. 30101–45, coordinated party 

expenditure limits (52 U.S.C. 

30116(d)(2)–(3)) and the disclosure 

threshold for contributions bundled by 

lobbyists (52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(A)) are 

adjusted annually to reflect changes in 

the consumer price index. See 52 U.S.C. 

30104(i)(3)(B), 30116(c); 11 CFR 

109.32(a)(2), (b)(3), 110.17(a), (f). The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

announce the adjusted limits and 

disclosure threshold for 2020. 

Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits 

for 2020 

Under 52 U.S.C. 30116(c), the 

Commission must adjust the 

expenditure limitations established by 

52 U.S.C. 30116(d) (the limits on 

expenditures by national party 

committees, state party committees, or 

their subordinate committees in 

connection with the general election 

campaign of candidates for federal 

office) annually to account for inflation. 

This expenditure limitation is increased 

by the percent difference between the 

price index, as certified to the 

Commission by the Secretary of Labor, 

for the 12 months preceding the 

beginning of the calendar year and the 

price index for the base period (calendar 

year 1974). 52 U.S.C. 30116(c). 

1. Expenditure Limitation for House of 

Representatives in States With More 

Than One Congressional District 

Both the national and state party 

committees have an expenditure 

limitation for each general election held 

to fill a seat in the House of 

Representatives in states with more than 

one congressional district. See 52 U.S.C. 

30116(d)(3)(B). This limitation also 

applies to the District of Columbia and 

territories that elect individuals to the 

office of Delegate or Resident 

Commissioner.1 Id. The formula used to 

calculate the expenditure limitation in 

such states and territories multiplies the 

base figure of $10,000 by the difference 

in the price index (5.18508), rounding to 

the nearest $100. See 52 U.S.C. 

30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(B); 11 CFR 

109.32(b), 110.17. Based upon this 

formula, the expenditure limitation for 

2020 general elections for House 

candidates in these states, districts, and 

territories is $51,900. 

2. Expenditure Limitation for Senate 

and for House of Representatives in 

States With Only One Congressional 

District 

Both the national and state party 

committees have an expenditure 

limitation for a general election held to 

fill a seat in the Senate or in the House 

of Representatives in states with only 

one congressional district. See 52 U.S.C. 

30116(d)(3)(A). The formula used to 

calculate this expenditure limitation 

considers not only the price index but 

also the voting age population (VAP) of 

the state. Id. The VAP figures used to 

calculate the expenditure limitations 

were certified by the U.S. Census 

Bureau. The VAP of each state is also 

published annually in the Federal 

Register by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 11 CFR 110.18. The general 

election expenditure limitation is the 

greater of: The base figure ($20,000) 

multiplied by the difference in the price 

index, 5.18508 (which totals $103,700); 

or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the 

state, multiplied by 5.18508. See 52 

U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(A); 11 CFR 

109.32(b), 110.17. Amounts are rounded 

to the nearest $100. 52 U.S.C. 

30116(c)(1)(B)(iii); 11 CFR 109.32(b)(3), 

110.17(c). The chart below provides the 

state-by-state breakdown of the 2020 

general election expenditure limitation 

for Senate elections. The expenditure 

limitation for 2020 House elections in 

states with only one congressional 

district 2 is $103,700.

3. Expenditure Limitation for President 

The national party committees have 

an expenditure limitation for their 

general election nominee for President. 

52 U.S.C. 30116(d)(2). The formula used 

to calculate the Presidential expenditure 

limitation considers not only the price 

index but also the total VAP of the 

United States. Id. The VAP figure used 

to calculate the expenditure limitation 

was certified by the U.S. Census Bureau. 

The VAP of the United States is also 

published annually in the Federal 

Register by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 11 CFR 110.18. The formula 

used to calculate this expenditure 

limitation is $0.02 multiplied by the 

total VAP of the United States 

(255,200,373), multiplied by the 

difference in the price index, 5.18508. 

See 52 U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(2); 11 

CFR 109.32(a)(2), 110.17. Amounts are 

rounded to the nearest $100. 52 U.S.C. 

30116(c)(1)(B)(iii); 11 CFR 109.32(a)(2), 

110.17(c). Based upon this formula, the 

expenditure limitation for 2020 

Presidential nominees is $26,464,700. 

Limitations on Contributions by 

Individuals, Non-Multicandidate 

Committees and Certain Political Party 

Committees Giving to U.S. Senate 

Candidates for the 2019–2020 Election 

Cycle 

For the convenience of the readers, 

the Commission is also republishing the 

contribution limitations for individuals, 

non-multicandidate committees and for 

certain political party committees giving 

to U.S. Senate candidates and national 

party committees for the 2019–2020 

election cycle:

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure 

Threshold for 2020 

The Act requires certain political 

committees to disclose contributions 

bundled by lobbyists/registrants and 

lobbyist/registrant political action 

committees once the contributions 

exceed a specified threshold amount. 52 

U.S.C. 30104(i)(1), (i)(3)(A). The 

Commission must adjust this threshold 

amount annually to account for 

inflation. 52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(B). The 

disclosure threshold is increased by 

multiplying the $15,000 statutory 

disclosure threshold by 1.26815, the 

difference between the price index, as 

certified to the Commission by the 

Secretary of Labor, for the 12 months 

preceding the beginning of the calendar 

year and the price index for the base 

period (calendar year 2006). See 52 

U.S.C. 30104(i)(3), 30116(c)(1)(B); 11 

CFR 104.22(g). The resulting amount is 

rounded to the nearest multiple of $100. 

52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(B), 

30116(c)(1)(B)(iii); 11 CFR 104.22(g)(4). 

Based upon this formula ($15,000 × 

1.26815), the lobbyist bundling 

disclosure threshold for calendar year 

2020 is $19,000.
