    Filing Dates for the Texas Special Elections
    
    AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
    
    ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special elections.

    SUMMARY: Texas has scheduled a special election on March 15, 1997, to 
    fill the U.S. House seat in the Twenty-Eighth Congressional District 
    held by the late Congressman Frank Tejeda. There are two possible 
    elections, but only one may be necessary. If no candidate wins a 
    majority of votes in the Special General Election, the two top vote-
    getters, regardless of party affiliation, will participate in a Special 
    Runoff on a date to be set by the Governor after March 15.
        Committees required to file reports in connection with the Special 
    General Election on March 15 should file a 12-day Pre-General Election 
    Report on March 3, 1997; a 30-day Post-General Report on April 14, 
    1997; and a Mid-Year Report on July 31, 1997.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All principal campaign committees of 
    candidates who participate in the Texas Special General Election and 
    all other political committees not filing monthly which support 
    candidates in the Special Election shall file a 12-day Pre-General 
    Report on March 3, 1997, with coverage dates from the close of the last 
    report filed, or the day of the committee's first activity, whichever 
    is later, through February 23, 1997. If there is a majority winner, 
    committees must also file a Post-General Report on April 14, 1997, with 
    coverage dates from February 24 through April 4, 1997, and a Mid-Year 
    Report on July 31, 1997, with coverage dates from April 5 through June 
    30, 1997.
        In the event that no candidate receives a majority of the votes in 
    the Special General Election, a Special Runoff Election will be held. 
    The Commission will publish a future notice giving the filing dates for 
    that election if it becomes necessary.
