Worth a look Late reports
1 large contribution ($4,000) reported on an A-1 after the deadline
A contribution of $1,000 or more must be reported to the State Board of Elections within 5 business days (2 in the last 30 days before an election the candidate is on the ballot for). The latest: $4,000 from Illinois Manufactured Housing Association PAC, received 2025-10-14, reported 2025-12-07: 35 business days, 30 past the deadline.
What to check- The receipt date is what the committee reported; a correction or a typo there changes the count.
- A contribution received and returned within the same quarterly period needn't be reported on an A-1.
- The Board decides on fines and can waive them (inadvertence, clerical error, days late).
