+ This date indicates the end of the reporting period. A reporting period always begins the day after the closing date of the last report filed. If the committee is new and has not previously filed a report, the first report must cover all activity that occurred before the committee registered up through the close of books for the first report due.
++Reports sent by registered or certified mail must be postmarked by the mailing deadline. Committees should keep the mailing receipt with its postmark as proof of filing. If using overnight mail, the delivery service must receive the report by the mailing deadline. "Overnight mail" means an overnight service with an on-line tracking system and scheduled for next business day delivery. Reports filed by any other means must be received by the Commission (or Secretary of the Senate for Senate committees) by the filing deadline.

%% If a Primary Runoff Election is necessary, it will be held on November 4, 2008. The General Election will instead be held on December 6, 2008, in the affected Congressional Districts.
* States holding 2008 Senate elections.
** Filed by candidate committees only. 48-Hour Notices are required if the campaign committee receives any contribution (including in-kind gifts or advances of goods or services; loans from the candidate or other non-bank sources; and guarantees or endorsements of bank loans to the candidate or committee) of $1,000 or more per source, during the applicable period.
1 The mailing deadline is the same as the filing deadline because the computed mailing deadline would fall one day before the primary/general is held.
2 Notice that the registered/certified & overnight mailing deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday. The report should be postmarked before that date.
3 The July Quarterly Report is waived for committees filing the Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma Pre-Primary Reports; Michigan Green Party Pre-Convention Report; and Georgia Pre-Runoff Reports. See 11 CFR 104.5(a)(1)(iii) and (c)(1)(i)(C).
4 The Year End Report is waived for committees filing the Illinois and Maryland Pre-Primary Reports. See 11 CFR 104.5(a)(1)(iii) and (c)(1)(i)(C).
5 The April Quarterly Report is waived for committees filing the Indiana, North Carolina and Pennsylvania Pre-Primary Reports; Utah Constitution Party Pre-Convention Report; the South Carolina Green Party Pre-Convention Report; the Indiana and Utah Libertarian Party Pre-Convention Reports; and the Michigan US Taxpayers Party Pre-Convention Report. See 11 CFR 104.5(a)(1)(iii) and (c)(1)(i)(C).
6 Notice that this filing deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday. Filing deadlines are not extended when they fall on nonworking days. Accordingly, reports filed by methods other than registered, certified or overnight mail, or electronically, must be received before the Commission’s (or the Secretary of the Senate’s) close of business on the last business day before the deadline.
