Filing Dates for the Louisiana Special Election

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Louisiana has scheduled a special election on May 1, 1999, to 
fill the U.S. House seat in the First Congressional District vacated by 
Congressman Robert Livingston. Under Louisiana law, a majority winner 
in a non-partisan special election is declared elected. Should no 
candidate achieve a majority vote, a Special Runoff Election will be 
held on May 29, 1999, between the top two vote-getters.
    Committees participating in the Louisiana special elections are 
required to file pre-and post-election reports. Filing dates for these 
reports are affected by whether one or two elections are held.
