FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

[Notice 2009-08]


Filing Dates for the California Special Election in the 32nd 
Congressional District

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.

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

SUMMARY: California has scheduled a special general election on May 19, 
2009, to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the Thirty-
Second Congressional District vacated by Representative Hilda Solis. 
Under California law, a majority winner in a special election is 
declared elected. Should no candidate achieve a majority vote, a 
special runoff election will be held on July 14, 2009, among the top 
vote-getters of each qualified political party, including qualified 
independent candidates.
    Political 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.
