FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
[Notice 1997-1]
Filing Dates for the Texas Special Elections
AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special elections.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Texas has scheduled a special election on March 15, 1997, to
fill the U.S. House seat in the Twenty-Eighth Congressional District
held by the late Congressman Frank Tejeda. There are two possible
elections, but only one may be necessary. If no candidate wins a
majority of votes in the Special General Election, the two top vote-
getters, regardless of party affiliation, will participate in a Special
Runoff on a date to be set by the Governor after March 15.
Committees required to file reports in connection with the Special
General Election on March 15 should file a 12-day Pre-General Election
Report on March 3, 1997; a 30-day Post-General Report on April 14,
1997; and a Mid-Year Report on July 31, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All principal campaign committees of
candidates who participate in the Texas Special General Election and
all other political committees not filing monthly which support
candidates in the Special Election shall file a 12-day Pre-General
Report on March 3, 1997, with coverage dates from the close of the last
report filed, or the day of the committee's first activity, whichever
is later, through February 23, 1997. If there is a majority winner,
committees must also file a Post-General Report on April 14, 1997, with
coverage dates from February 24 through April 4, 1997, and a Mid-Year
Report on July 31, 1997, with coverage dates from April 5 through June
30, 1997.
In the event that no candidate receives a majority of the votes in
the Special General Election, a Special Runoff Election will be held.
The Commission will publish a future notice giving the filing dates for
that election if it becomes necessary.
