      FEC cites committees for failure to file 12-day Pre-Primary reports in three states

FEC Record: ComplianceFEC cites committees for failure to file 12-day Pre-Primary reports in three statesMay 19, 2014 The Federal Election Commission cited 10 campaign committees today for failing to file the 12-Day Pre-Primary Election report required by the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the Act), for primary elections that are being held on May 20, 2014. As of May 15, 2014, the required disclosure report had not been received             from: Travis Schooley for Congress (PA-09)            Branko Radulovacki for US Senate (GA)            The Committee to Elect Todd Robinson US Senate 2014 (GA)            Mrozinski for Congress Inc. (GA-11)            Vogel for Congress (GA-09)            Friends of Thomas Wight (GA-07)            Citizens for Michael Owens (GA-13)            Ken Dious for Congress Inc. (GA-10)            Crawley for Oregon (OR)            Childs for Congress Committee (GA-02) The report was due on May 8, 2014, and should have included financial             activity for the period April 1, 2014, through April 30, 2014. If sent by             certified or registered mail, the report should have been postmarked by May 5,             2014. Some individuals and their committees have no obligation to file reports             under federal campaign finance law, even though their names may appear on state             ballots. If an individual raises or spends $5,000 or less, he or she is not             considered a "candidate" subject to reporting under the Act. The Commission notified committees involved in the primary election of their             potential filing requirements on April 14, 2014. Those committees that did not             file on the due date were sent notification on May 9, 2014 that their reports             had not been received and that their names would be published if they did not             respond within four business days. Other political committees that support Senate and House candidates in             elections, but are not authorized units of a candidate''s campaign, are also             required to file quarterly reports, unless they report monthly. Those committee             names are not published by the FEC. Further Commission action against non-filers and late filers is decided on a             case-by-case basis. Federal law gives the FEC broad authority to initiate             enforcement actions, and the FEC has implemented an Administrative Fine program             with provisions for assessing monetary penalties. **Resources:** FEC non-filer press release            Compliance map            Administrative fine program            FEC reporting dates
