Federal Election Commission March 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

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.

The Federal Election Commission is correcting a compliance date that appeared in the Federal Register of February 17, 2009 (74 FR 7285). The document issued the final rules regarding the disclosure of information about bundled contributions provided by certain lobbyists, registrants and political committees established or controlled by lobbyists and registrants.
