Good to know
Statement coverage begins the day after your committee's last statement's closing date, so start dates depend on filing history. Convention-nominated candidates file pre/post-convention statements instead of primary ones — confirm dates with the Bureau.
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.
