SUMMARY:

Jkt 241001
Under 52 U.S.C. 30116(c), the
Commission must adjust the
expenditure limitations established by
52 U.S.C. 30116(d) (the limits on
expenditures by national party
committees, state party committees, or
their subordinate committees in
connection with the general election
campaign of candidates for Federal
office) annually to account for inflation.
This expenditure limitation is increased
by the percent difference between the
price index, as certified to the
Commission by the Secretary of Labor,
for the 12 months preceding the
beginning of the calendar year and the
price index for the base period (calendar
year 1974). 52 U.S.C. 30116(c).
1. Expenditure Limitation for House of
Representatives in States With More
Than One Congressional District
Both the national and state party
committees have an expenditure
limitation for each general election held
to fill a seat in the House of
Representatives in states with more than
one congressional district. See 52 U.S.C.
30116(d)(3)(B). This limitation also
applies to the District of Columbia and
territories that elect individuals to the
office of Delegate or Resident
Commissioner.1 Id. The formula used to
calculate the expenditure limitation in
1 .Currently, these are the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, and the territories of American Samoa,
Guam, the United States Virgin Islands and the
Northern Mariana Islands. See https://
www.house.gov/representatives.

such states and territories multiplies the
base figure of $10,000 by the difference
in the price index (4.86767), rounding to
the nearest $100. See 52 U.S.C.
30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(B); 11 CFR
109.32(b), 110.17. Based upon this
formula, the expenditure limitation for
2017 general elections for House
candidates in these states, districts, and
territories is $48,700.
2. Expenditure Limitation for Senate
and for House of Representatives in
States With Only One Congressional
District
Both the national and state party
committees have an expenditure
limitation for a general election held to
fill a seat in the Senate or in the House
of Representatives in states with only
one congressional district. See 52 U.S.C.
30116(d)(3)(A). The formula used to
calculate this expenditure limitation
considers not only the price index but
also the voting age population (‘‘VAP’’)
of the state. Id. The VAP figures used to
calculate the expenditure limitations
were certified by the U.S. Census
Bureau. The VAP of each state is also
published annually in the Federal
Register by the U.S. Department of
Commerce. 11 CFR 110.18. The general
election expenditure limitation is the
greater of: The base figure ($20,000)
multiplied by the difference in the price
index, 4.86767 (which totals $97,400);
or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 4.86767. Amounts
are rounded to the nearest $100. See 52
U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(A); 11 CFR
109.32(b), 110.17. The chart below
provides the state-by-state breakdown of
the 2017 general election expenditure
limitation for Senate elections. The
expenditure limitation for 2017 House
elections in states with only one
congressional district 2 is $97,400.
2 Currently, these states are: Alaska, Delaware,
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and
Wyoming. See https://www.house.gov/
