Good to know
Fixed report set for a state candidate (August 8 primary / November 3 general). Candidates additionally file a Preliminary Primary report (1A/1B/1C) whose date depends on when they filed nomination papers — a conditional track not listed here. Sub-$1,000 committees are exempt from most reports and file only the Final Election Period report. All reports due 11:59 p.m. HST.
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.
