SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Principal Campaign Committees 

Special Primary Only 

All principal campaign committees of 

candidates only participating in the 

Florida Special Primary shall file a 

consolidated Pre-Primary and Year-End 

Report on January 16, 2025. (See charts 

below for the closing date for the 

report.) 

Special Primary and Special General 

Elections 

If two elections are held, all principal 

campaign committees of candidates who 

participate in the Florida Special 

Primary and Special General Election 

shall file a consolidated Pre-Primary 

and Year-End Report on January 16, 

2025; a Pre-General Report on March 20, 

2025, and a Post-General Report on May 

1, 2025. (See charts below for the 

closing date for each report.) 

Special General Election 

If only one election is held, all 

principal campaign committees of 

candidates who participate in the 

Florida Special General Election shall 

file a consolidated Pre-General and 

Year-End Report on January 16, 2025, 

and a Post-General Report on February 

27, 2025. (See charts below for the 

closing date for each report.) 

Note that these reports are in addition 

to the campaign committee’s regular 

quarterly filings. (See charts 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 

Florida Special Primary or Special 

General Election by the close of books 

for the applicable report(s). (See charts 

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, 

unauthorized committees that trigger 

the filing of the consolidated PrePrimary and Year-End Report (if two 

elections are held) or the consolidated 

Pre-General and Year-End Report (if one 

election is held) will be required to file 

this report on two separate forms: One 

form to cover 2024 activity, labeled as 

the Year-End Report; and the other form 

to cover only 2025 activity, labeled as 

the Pre-Primary or Pre-General Report, 

as applicable. Both forms must be filed 

by January 16, 2025. 

Committees filing monthly that make 

contributions or expenditures in 

connection with the Florida Special 

Primary or Special General Election will 

continue to file according to the 

monthly reporting schedule. 

Additional disclosure information for 

the Florida special elections may be 

found on the FEC website at https://

www.fec.gov/help-candidates-andcommittees/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 elections 

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 charts 

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 2024 is 

$22,700. This threshold amount may 

change in 2025 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).
