Filing Dates for the California Special Election

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.

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

SUMMARY: California has scheduled a special election on September 21, 
1999, to fill the U.S. House seat in the Forty-second Congressional 
District vacated by the late Congressman George E. Brown, Jr. Under 
California 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 November 16, 1999, among the 
top vote-getters of each qualified political party, including 
independent candidates.
    Committees participating in the California 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.
