9 large contributions ($9,000) 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: $1,000 from Suzanne Sahloul, received 2023-11-12, reported 2024-01-10: 39 business days, 34 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).
