11. PERIOD COVERED: A reporting period includes the beginning date and the ending date. For
monthly reports, the due date (the 5th of each month) is after the ending date of the reporting
period (the 25th of the previous month). You should never leave gaps between the periods
covered, and generally, you should not have an overlap of time periods. Special pre-election
reports (formerly known as telegram reports) do create overlaps. Please consult your campaign
finance guide for further explanation regarding telegram reports.
First Reports. If this is the committee’s first campaign finance report, the period covered
depends on the date the committee filed its initial campaign treasurer appointment and when it
chose to file under the monthly filing schedule.
If the committee filed its initial campaign treasurer appointment before the 25th of the month
and it chose to file monthly at that time, the beginning date is the date the initial campaign
treasurer appointment was filed. The ending date is the 25th day of the same month.
Example: A county executive committee files its initial campaign treasurer appointment and
chooses monthly filing on May 15. Its first monthly report is due June 5, covering the period
beginning May 15 and ending May 25.
If the committee filed its initial campaign treasurer appointment on or after the 25th of the
month, and it chose to file monthly at that time, the beginning date is the date the initial
campaign treasurer appointment was filed. The ending date is the 25th day of the next month.
Example: A county executive committee files its initial campaign treasurer appointment and
chooses monthly filing on May 27. Its first monthly report is due July 5, covering the period
beginning May 27 and ending June 25.
If the committee has been filing under the regular filing schedule, and chooses monthly filing
between January 1 and January 15 of a particular year, the beginning date for the first monthly
report (due February 5) is January 1. The ending date is January 25.
Monthly Reports: For monthly reports other than the first monthly report, the beginning date
is the 26th of one month or the day after the last day covered by the last required report,
whichever is later. Except for a dissolution report, the ending date is the 25th of the next
month.
10th Day After Campaign Treasurer Termination Report: The beginning date is the day
after the last day covered by the last required report. If this is the committee’s first report,
please see the “First Reports” section above. The ending date is the day the termination is
filed. This report is due no later than 10 days after the termination is filed with the Ethics
Commission.
Final Report: See “Final Report” under the instructions for Section 9.
