Section 32 KAR 2:100 - Postelection and supplemental reportsRELATES TO: KRS 121.180(3), (4), (7)
NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 121.180(3)(b) requires candidates, campaign committees, political issues committees, and registered fundraisers to file a report on the 32nd day preceding an election. KRS 121.180(4) and (7) require that candidates, campaign committees, political issues committees, and registered fundraisers shall file postelection reports within thirty (30) days after the election, and supplemental reports until any balance of funds remaining or debts owed show no unexpended balance or unpaid deficit. It is necessary to promulgate this administrative regulation to clarify the manner in which these reports are to be compiled as the transition is made between reporting periods for the primary and regular elections.
