[Notice 2009-08]
Filing Dates for the California Special Election in the 32nd Congressional District
AGENCY:
Federal Election Commission.
ACTION:
Notice of filing dates for special election.
SUMMARY:
California has scheduled a special general election on May 19, 2009, to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the Thirty-Second Congressional District vacated by Representative Hilda Solis. Under California law, a majority winner in a special election is declared elected. Should no candidate achieve a majority vote, a special runoff election will be held on July 14, 2009, among the top vote-getters of each qualified political party, including qualified independent candidates.
Political committees participating in the California special elections are required to file pre- and post-election reports. Filing dates for these reports are affected by whether one or two elections are held.
