Guam campaigns must file quarterly reports
The law requires all candidates, political parties, and committees to file quarterly finance reports with the Guam Election Commission. In non‑election years, reports are due Jan 15 (Oct–Dec), Apr 15 (Jan–Mar), Jul 15 (Apr–Jun), and Oct 15 (Jul–Sep). In election years, file by Jan 15 for Oct–Dec of the prior year and by Apr 15 for Jan–Mar; also file a preliminary at least 10 days before the primary and general, and a final within 10 days after the primary and 20 days after the general. Reports must be certified and include total contributions; for each gift over $100, list the donor’s name and address, amount, receipt date, and deposit date; list every expense with payee name and address, amount, date, and purpose; and attach bank statements for the quarter. You must still file even with no activity, with the last report due by the 15th day after the quarter that follows the election (primary, general, or special). Keep filing until funds are used up or any deficit is cleared, or you move any surplus/deficit to a new group for a later campaign for the same office or purpose. The law takes effect upon enactment.
