When you electronically submit your report or filing, your committee will receive an email from the FEC stating that your filing was either accepted or rejected. If the filing was rejected, the email will include the reasons why it was not accepted.
Successful Submission (“Accepted”)
If the electronic filing was accepted, save all emails from the FEC confirming that the filing was accepted. We encourage this as a best practice for record keeping and for verification should any issues arise regarding the submission of your report or filing.
Verification
If you would like a visual that your reported was accepted by the FEC, as well as view your previous reports and filings, you can do so by following the steps below:
- Go to: https://www.fec.gov/data/filings/?data_type=processed.
- On the left-hand side under “Edit filters,” enter your committee name or FEC ID.
- Under Data Type, select the “Raw” tab.
- Once you have entered your information, you can bookmark the link above for future reference to view your reports and filings.
- Use the Document and Receipt date column to find the specific report for your committee.
