BILLING CODE 6714-01-P FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION [Notice 2010-09] Filing Dates for the Georgia Special Election in the 9th Congressional District AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election. SUMMARY: Georgia has scheduled a special general election on May 11, 2010, to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the Ninth Congressional District vacated by Representative Nathan Deal. Under Georgia law, a majority winner in a non-partisan special election is declared elected.
Should no candidate achieve a majority vote, a special runoff election will be held on June 8, 2010, between the top two vote-getters. Political committees participating in the Georgia special elections are required to file pre- and post-election reports. Filing deadlines for these reports are affected by whether one or two elections are held. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Kevin R.
