Candidate Handbook Special Municipal Election April 15, 2025

chapter 11

Additional Reports In addition to the forms associated with starting a campaign (Forms 501 and 410) and the main campaign disclosure form (Form 460), there are several other forms that may be required, depending on the committee’s activity. For example, most committees must file the 24- Hour/10-Day Contribution Report (Form 497). Primarily formed committees making independent expenditures must file the independent expenditure reports discussed below. A candidate’s controlled committee for their election will likely not be filing independent expenditure reports because it is making direct campaign expenditures for the candidate’s election to office.

This chapter reviews the following special reports that may be required.

• 24-Hour/10-Day Contribution Reports (Form 497)

• 24-Hour/10-Day Independent Expenditure Reports (Form 496)

• Verification of Independent Expenditures (Form 462)

• Special Odd-Year Reports (Form 460)

• Paid Spokesperson Reports (Form 511)

• Reports of Communications Identifying State Candidates (Form E-530)
