What to include on FEC Form 1: names, treasurer, custodian and bank details
Summary
The FEC video lists the information required on Form 1, including committee name and address, email address (required for electronic filing), the date the threshold was crossed, treasurer and custodian names and addresses, affiliated committees, and the committee bank information (but not account numbers).
The Presenter, an Information Division official at the Federal Election Commission (FEC), walked through specific fields on FEC Form 1 that committees must complete. "On line 1 of the form, you'll provide the name and mailing address of your committee. Be sure to provide an email address," the presenter said, adding that the FEC corresponds primarily via email and committees cannot file electronically without an email address.
The presenter also covered who must sign and which fields party committees should complete: the treasurer must sign and date the bottom of page 1; party committees should complete section D on page 2; Line 6 lists affiliated committees; Line 7 requires the custodian of records; Line 8 requires the treasurer's name and address. The video also recommends designating an agent or assistant treasurer who can act if the treasurer is unavailable.
