If you file C-4 reports for a candidate who will be on the November ballot or a political committee that's involved with the general election this year, you have a C-4 report due Oct. 16. This C-4 should be a report for the period of Sept. 1 through Oct. 15.
If you don't see a C-4 with a due date of Oct. 16 in ORCA, make sure that you are set up for the general election. Open your campaign in ORCA, and click the word "File" on the upper left. Click on "Committee Information." In the column on the left, click on "C-4 reporting periods." Make sure that you have selected "Participates in General Ballot" on the right.
Reporting dates are available on the PDC calendar.
