FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

[Notice 2007-25]

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.

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

SUMMARY: Illinois has scheduled elections on February 5, 2008, and 
March 8, 2008, to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the 
Fourteenth Congressional District vacated by Representative J. Dennis 
Hastert.
    Committees required to file reports in connection with the Special 
Primary Election on February 5, 2008, shall file a 12-day Pre-Primary 
Report. Committees required to file reports in connection with both the 
Special Primary and Special General Election on March 8, 2008, shall 
file a 12-day Pre-Primary Report, a 12-day Pre-General Report, and a 
30-day Post-General Report.

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 who participate in 
the Illinois Special Primary and Special General Elections shall file a 
12-day Pre-Primary Report on January 24, 2008; a 12-day Pre-General 
Report on February 25, 2008; and a 30-day Post-General Report on April 
7, 2008. (See chart below for the closing date for each report).
    All principal campaign committees of candidates participating only 
in the Special Primary Election shall file a 12-day Pre-Primary Report 
on January 24, 2008. (See chart below for the closing date for each 
report).

Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees)

    Political committees filing on a quarterly basis in 2008 are 
subject to special election reporting if they make previously 
undisclosed contributions or expenditures in connection with the 
Illinois Special Primary or Special General Elections 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,

[[Page 71411]]

unauthorized committees that trigger the filing of the Pre-Primary 
Report will be required to file this report on two separate forms. One 
form to cover 2007 activity, labeled as the Year-End Report; and the 
other form to cover only 2008 activity, labeled as the Pre-Primary 
Report. Both forms must be filed by January 24, 2008.
    Committees filing monthly that support candidates in the Illinois 
Special Primary or Special General Election should continue to file 
according to the monthly reporting schedule.
    Additional disclosure information in connection with the Illinois 
Special Election may be found on the FEC Web site at http://www.fec.gov/info/report_dates.shtml.
