Good to know
Legislative cycle (all House seats + half the Senate; Governor is 2024/2028). The 30-Day and 8-Day primary reports apply to candidates on the September 15 primary ballot; the 30-Day and 8-Day general reports apply to candidates on the November 3 ballot. Coverage-start dates are not published on the calendar (each period runs from the day after the prior report's period-end). A Statement of Organization and event-driven large-contribution notices apply separately.
Electbase compiles these dates from official state sources as a workflow aid. It is not legal advice. Confirm every deadline with your filing authority before you rely on it.
