Principal Campaign Committees
All principal campaign committees of candidates who participate in the Texas Special General Election shall file a 12-day Pre-General Report on October 23, 2025. If there is a majority winner, committees must also file a Post-General Report on December 4, 2025. (See charts below for the closing date for each report.)
Note that these reports are in addition to the campaign committee's regular quarterly filings. (See charts below for the closing date for each report).
Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees)
Political committees not filing monthly are subject to special election reporting if they make previously undisclosed contributions or expenditures in connection with the Texas Special General Election by the close of books for the applicable report(s). (See charts below for the closing date for each report.)
Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures in connection with the Texas Special General Election will continue to file according to the monthly reporting schedule.
Additional disclosure information for the Texas special election may be found on the FEC website at https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/dates-and-deadlines/.
Possible Special Runoff Election
In the event that no candidate receives a majority of the votes in the Special General Election, a Special Runoff Election will be held. The Commission will publish a future notice giving the filing dates for that election if it becomes necessary.
Disclosure of Lobbyist Bundling Activity
Principal campaign committees, party committees and leadership PACs that are otherwise required to file reports in connection with the special election must simultaneously file FEC Form 3L if they receive two or more bundled contributions from lobbyists/registrants or lobbyist/registrant PACs that aggregate in excess of $23,300 during the special election reporting periods.
