Committees registered under the Michigan Campaign Finance Act (MCFA) are subject to the filing requirements pursuant to MCL 169.232, 169.233, 169.234, and 169.235. The Bureau of Elections calculates the filing dates for campaign statements and immediate disclosure reports yearly and publishes those dates.
The campaign finance filing dates are published in printer friendly PDFs that provide the dates of campaign statements and immediate disclosure reports owed by all committee types through the year. Not all statements and reports listed in the document are owed by all committee types; therefore, each committee must use the Campaign Finance Statement Logic section at the end of the document as it outlines what statements are owed by each committee type.
