2 In Connecticut and Utah, conventions are held by the political parties prior to the primary. In Virginia, parties may choose to nominate by convention rather than by primary election. (In other states, such as Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia, it is possible that minor parties may schedule conventions to nominate candidates.)
3 In AO 2000-29 [PDF], the Commission determined that the last day to qualify for a position on the general election ballot in Louisiana--in this case 08/17/12-- must be considered the primary election date for Louisiana candidates. See 11 CFR 100.2(c)(4)(i). The election for candidates seeking federal office is the general election scheduled for 11/06/12. Additionally, under state law if no candidate in the 11/06/12 general election receives over 50 percent of the vote, a runoff election will be held on 12/01/12.

5 On July 27, 2012, the Commission learned that its website reflected incorrect dates for the Electioneering Communication (EC) reporting periods for the national nominating conventions. The correct EC period for the Republican national nominating convention begins on July 28 and the EC period for the Democratic national nominating convention begins on August 4. See 11 CFR 100.29(b)(3)(ii)(B). The website had mistakenly identified those starting dates as July 31 and August 7, respectively. The website has been corrected.
The Commission regrets the error. The Commission will exercise its prosecutorial discretion and will not take enforcement action with respect to communications disbursements made in reasonable reliance on the erroneous information on the website in connection with EC reporting.
