FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

[Notice 2002-23]


Filing Dates for the Hawaii Special Election in the 2nd 
Congressional District

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.

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

SUMMARY: Hawaii has scheduled a special election on January 4, 2003, to 
fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the Second Congressional 
District to which the late Representative Patsy T. Mink was reelected 
on November 5, 2002.
    Committees participating in the Hawaii special election are 
required to file pre- and post-election reports.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Kevin R. Salley, Information 
Division, 999 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 20463; Telephone: (202) 
694-1100; Toll Free (800) 424-9530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Principal Campaign Committees

    All principal campaign committees of candidates participating in 
the Hawaii Special General shall file a 12-day Pre-General Report on 
December 23, 2002; and a 30-day Post-General Report on February 3, 
2003. (See chart below for the closing date for each report).

Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees)

    Political Committees that file on a quarterly basis in 2002 are 
subject to special election reporting if they make previously 
undisclosed contributions or

[[Page 70600]]

expenditures in connection with the Hawaii Special General Election by 
the close of books for the applicable report(s). (See chart below for 
the closing date for each report).
    Since disclosing financial activity from two different calendar 
years on one report would conflict with the calendar year aggregation 
requirements stated in the Commission's disclosure rules, unauthorized 
committees that trigger the filing of the Post-General Report will be 
required to file this report on two separate forms. One form to cover 
2002 activity, labeled as the Year-End Report; and the other form to 
cover only 2003 activity, labeled as the Post-General Report. Both 
forms must be filed by February 3, 2003.
    Committees filing monthly that support candidates in the Hawaii 
Special General should continue to file according to the monthly 
reporting schedule.
