SUMMARY: New York has scheduled a special election on February 13,

Congressional District that became vacant when Representative George 
Santos was expelled from Congress.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Principal Campaign Committees

    All principal campaign committees of candidates who participate in 
the New York Special General Election shall file a 12-day Pre-General 
Report on February 1, 2024, and a 30-day Post-General Report on March 
14, 2024. (See chart below for the closing date for each report.)
    Note that these reports are in addition to the campaign committee's 
regular quarterly filings. (See chart below for the closing date for 
each report).

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 New York Special General Election 
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

[[Page 86898]]

report would conflict with the calendar year aggregation requirements 
stated in the Commission's disclosure rules, unauthorized committees 
that trigger the filing of the Pre-General Report will be required to 
file this report on two separate forms: One form to cover 2023 
activity, labeled as the Year-End Report; and the other form to cover 
only 2024 activity, labeled as the Pre-General Report. Both forms must 
be filed by February 1, 2024.
    Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures 
in connection with the New York Special General Election will continue 
to file according to the monthly reporting schedule.
    Additional disclosure information for the New York special election 
may be found on the FEC website at https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/dates-and-deadlines/.

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 election 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 
chart 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).
