Good to know
The candidate-on-ballot report series (NMSA §1-19-29). Committees/officials NOT on the 2026 ballot instead file the second-Monday-of-April/October biannual reports (not listed here). The Second General report is due October 13 because the statutory second Monday (October 12) is Columbus Day. Event-driven late-contribution and independent-expenditure special reports are not listed here.
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.
