The Federal Election Commission has announced the filing dates for financial reports related to the special election in Louisiana's 5th Congressional District. This election is set for March 20, 2021, to fill the U.S. House seat after Representative-elect Luke J. Letlow passed away. If no candidate receives a majority, a runoff election will occur on April 24, 2021. Candidates and committees must file various pre- and post-election reports, with different deadlines depending on whether one or two elections take place. Additionally, any new contributions or expenditures by political committees must be reported if they haven't been disclosed before. The FEC also provides guidelines on filing requirements related to lobbyist bundling activities during this period.
