Congressional District

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.

SUMMARY: California has scheduled a special election on April 10, 2001, 
to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the Thirty-Second

each qualified political party, including qualified 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.
