The third quarter information, covering activities between July 1 and September 30, was due to the Florida Division of Elections by midnight Thursday, October 10, 2013.
Florida law now changes campaign finance reporting periods from quarterly and biweekly in previous cycles, to monthly and weekly (for statewide candidates) and to monthly and biweekly (for legislative candidates) for the remainder of the 2014 cycle. The new law, effective November 1, 2013, also provides new dates for the state and federal qualifying period, and the primary election. Please go to www.DOS.STATE.FL.US for complete information.
