C. Special Odd-Year Report (Form 460 or 450) The odd-year report is designed to timely show if a committee is making large contributions to a number of state legislators or elected state officers during an off-election year when important issues such as the state budget or controversial legislation is being considered. The odd-year report must be filed, if during any odd-numbered year, the committee makes contributions totaling $10,000 or more to elected state officers , their controlled committees, or committees primarily formed to support or oppose any elected state officer during the first and third quarters of the year. Ex 11.10 - Between July 1 and September 30 of an odd- numbered year, a local candidate’s election committee contributes $6,000 to the Governor’s ballot measure committee and $6,000 to the Secretary of State’s election committee. The local committee must file a special odd-year report covering the period July 1 through September 30, by October 31. The special odd-year report is completed in the same manner as a regular preelection or semi-annual statement (see Chapter 8) and includes all of the committee’s activity during the reporting period, not just contributions to elected state officers. When and Where to File the Special Odd-Year Report The special odd-year report is filed where the committee files its regular campaign statements and is filed on the committee’s regular campaign disclosure statement (Form 460 or Form 450).
