2025 UNIFORM ELECTION DATES
TEXAS ETHICS COMMISSION
2025 FILING SCHEDULE FOR REPORTS DUE IN CONNECTION WITH
ELECTIONS HELD ON UNIFORM ELECTION DATES
This is a filing schedule for r eports to be filed in connection with elections held on uniform election dates in May and
November. Examples of elections held on uniform election dates are elections for school board positions and city
offices. The uniform election dates in 2025 are May 3 and November 4.
Candidates and officeholders must file semiannual reports (due on January 15, 2025, and July 15, 2025). In addition, a
candidate who has an opponent on the ballot in an election held on a uniform election date must file two pre -election
reports (unless the candidate has elected modified reporting).
The campaign treasurer of a political committee that is involved in an election held on a uniform election date must also
file pre-election reports (unless the committee is a general-purpose political committee that files monthly or a specific -
purpose political committee that files on the modified reporting schedule). This schedule sets out the due dates for pre -
election reports in connection with elections on uniform election dates. Please consult the 2025 REGULAR FILING
SCHEDULE FOR GENERAL-PURPOSE POLITICAL COMMITTEES (GPAC), COUNTY EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEES (CEC), AND SPECIFIC-PURPOSE POLITICAL COMMITTEES (SPAC) for a complete listing of
political committee deadlines.
Candidates for and officeholders in local offices regularly filled at the general election for state and county officers (the
November election in even-numbered years) should use the 2025 FILING SCHEDULE FOR CANDIDATES AND
OFFICEHOLDERS FILING WITH THE COUNTY CLERK OR ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR .
EXPLANATION OF THE FILING SCHEDULE CHART
COLUMN I: REPORT DUE DATE - This is the date by which the report must be filed. If the due date for a report falls
on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the report is due on the next regular business day. This schedule shows the
extended deadline where applicable. A report transmitted to the Texas Ethics Commission over the Internet is considered
timely filed if it is transmitted by midnight, Central Time Zone, on the night of the filing deadline . For most filing
deadlines, a report filed on paper is considered timely filed if it is deposited with the U.S. Post Office or a common or
contract carrier properly addressed with postage and handling charges prepaid, or hand -delivered to the filing authority
by the filing deadline. Pre-Election Reports: A report due 30 days before an election and a report due 8 days before an
election must be received by the appropriate filing authority no later than the report due date to be considered timely
filed.
COLUMN II: TYPE OF REPORT (WHO FILES) - This column gives the report type and explains which reporting form
to use and which filers are required to file the report.
COLUMN III: BEGINNING DATE OF PERIOD COVERED - This column sets out the beginning date of the time
period covered by the report. Use the latest one of the applicable dates. The "date of campaign treasurer appointment" is
the beginning date only for the first report filed after filing a campaign treasurer appointment. For officeholders recently
appointed to an elective office, the beginning date for the first report will be the date the officeholder took office,
provided that he or she was not already filing as an officeholder or candidate at the time of the appointment. (NOTE: If
you are ever confused about the beginning date for a required report, remember this rule: There should never be gaps
between reporting periods and, generally, there should not be overlaps.)
COLUMN IV: ENDING DATE OF PERIOD COVERED - This column sets out the ending date of the time period
covered by the report. The report must include reportable activity occurring on the ending date.
Please consult the CAMPAIGN FINANCE GUIDE FOR CANDIDATES AND OFFICEHOLDERS WHO FILE WITH
LOCAL FILING AUTHORITIES or the CAMPAIGN FINANCE GUIDE FOR POLITICAL COMMITTEES for further
information.
