Remaining 2020 Filing Deadlines for Federal PACs
The FEC’s reporting deadlines for federal PACs are slightly different in election years and non-election years. In 2020, federal PACs are required to file post-general reports and may be required to file pre-general reports. Federal PAC filing deadlines covering activity for the rest of 2020 are below.
Quarterly Filers
Note that contributions in connection with special or runoff elections may trigger additional reporting requirements for quarterly filers.
