Federal Election Commission July 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

West Virginia has scheduled special elections on August 28, 2010, and November 2, 2010, to fill the vacant U.S. Senate seat held by the late Senator Robert C. Byrd.

On December 7, 2009, the Commission published in the Federal Register final rules implementing the provision of the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act governing campaign travel on noncommercial aircraft. This document announces the effective date of amendments made by those final rules to Commission regulations pertaining to travel by and on behalf of publicly funded presidential candidates.

The Federal Election Commission (``Commission'') is adopting a new pilot program for a procedure to provide a means for persons and entities to have a legal question considered by the Commission earlier in both the report review process and the audit process.
