Senate Campaigns Required to File Reports Electronically
Senate campaigns are now required to file FEC reports and related documents electronically with the FEC. The change is a result of a provision in an appropriations bill that was signed by President Trump in late September. Prior to the bill’s signing, Senate campaigns were required to submit reports and related documents on paper to the Secretary of the Senate.
As a result of the change, Senate reports will be made publicly available much more quickly. FEC databases will also reflect data from Senate reports much sooner after the reports are submitted.
