The PDC's electronic filing applications for financial affairs disclosures (F-1s) and registration of candidates and political committees will be briefly unavailable Wednesday, March 18, while the agency performs system maintenance.
The Financial Affairs Disclosure (F-1) system will be unavailable during the migration to a new electronic filing application. The new system, scheduled to go live Jan. 2, will guide step-by-step through the reporting, using a series of questions, drop-down menus and other features. It's designed to simplify the user experience, prevent errors and answer questions about who must file and when.
UPDATE: Service has been restored as of 4:25 p.m. Reports that were due today will not be considered late until after Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Original message: PDC is experiencing outages in the Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA), independent expenditure and electioneering communications (C-6) reporting, personal financial affairs (F-1) disclosure and public agency lobbying (L-5) systems. Technicians are working to resolve the problem. We do not currently have an estimate for when service will be restored, but will post an update in the next hour.
