Authorized committees of presidential candidates follow specific filing requirements that vary depending on whether it is an election year or not.

Election year filing

If on January 1 of the election year, the committee has received or anticipates receiving contributions aggregating $100,000 or more, or has made or anticipates making expenditures aggregating $100,000 or more, it must file monthly reports. If a presidential committee begins filing quarterly and then reaches the $100,000 threshold during the election year, the committee begins filing monthly reports at the next reporting period. Presidential committees filing monthly report electronically on Form 3P.
