 AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
 ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.
 SUMMARY: Louisiana has scheduled special elections to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the Sixth Congressional District being vacated by Representative Richard H. Baker. There are three possible special elections, but only two may be necessary. *Primary Election:*
                         March 8, 2008.
                    *Possible Runoff Election:*
                         April 5, 2008. In the event that one candidate 
                        ( print page 6969)
                        does not achieve a majority vote in his/her party's Special Primary Election, the top two vote-getters will participate in a Special Runoff Election.
                    *General Election:*
                         May 3, 2008. However, if a Special Runoff Election is not necessary, the Special General will instead be held on April 5, 2008.

                         The reporting period always begins the day after the closing date of the last report filed. If the committee is new and has not previously filed a report, the first report must cover all activity that occurred before the committee registered up through the close of books for the first report due.2
                         If a Special Runoff Election is necessary, it will be held April 5, 2008, and the Special General Election will be held on May 3, 2008.
 Dated: January 29, 2008. David M. Mason, Chairman, Federal Election Commission.
