(a) For a political committee, the elections office of the county in which the treasurer resides, unless the treasurer resides out-of-state, in which case the elections office of Thurston county; or
(b) For a continuing political committee, the elections office of the county in which the committee's in-state office or headquarters is located; if there is no in-state office or headquarters, the elections office of the county in which the committee treasurer resides, unless the treasurer resides out-of-state, in which case the elections office of Thurston county)).
