24-Hour/10-Day Deadline for the Form 410 A committee that qualifies during the last 16 days before the election must file Form 410 within 24 hours of qualifying. The Form 410 must be provided to the filing officer with whom the committee will file its original campaign disclosure statements (e.g., Form 460) by fax, guaranteed overnight delivery, or personal delivery. Outside of the 16 days prior to an election, an original Form 410 must be filed with the Secretary of State within 10 days of qualifying as a committee (regular mail may be used). Effective, January 1, 2023, filers required to file a report or statement by paper with the Secretary of State may instead file the paper report or statement by email. All statements must be signed using a verified digital signature. Please access the Secretary of State's website for more information on how to file with a digital signature. Ex 2.7 - A group of neighbors joined forces to help elect a candidate for mayor. On March 1, fourteen days before the election, the group received 10 checks of $200 each. Because they qualified as a committee on that date, they must mail or personally deliver a Form 410 to the Secretary of State and a copy to the city clerk no later than March 11. Ex 2.8 - Fourteen days before a local election, a candidate who had previously filed a Form 470 received a contribution of $1,250, bringing the cumulative contributions received to date to $2,150. Because the candidate has now exceeded the $2,000 committee qualification threshold, the candidate must file the Form 410 with the local elections official within 24 hours. The Form 410 must also be filed within 10 days with the Secretary of State. The Form 470 Supplement must be filed within 48 hours as described in this chapter.
