(1) A candidate must file a C-1 registration
with the commission within fourteen days of first:
(a) Receiving contributions, making
expenditures, reserving space or facilities or purchasing commercial
advertising space or broadcast time to promote their candidacy;
(b) Giving the candidate's consent to another
person to take any of the actions in (a) of this subsection on behalf of the
candidate; or
(c) Announcing
publicly or filing a declaration of candidacy with the appropriate elections
official.
(2) A political

days after its organization or after the date when it first has the expectation
of receiving contributions or making expenditures in any election campaign,
whichever is earlier.
(3) The
statement filed under subsections (1) and (2) of this section must declare that

filed.

committee using the mini reporting option must keep current records in
sufficient detail to allow the candidate or political committee to make reports
