A. Except as provided in subsection B, any single contribution
of [ more than $1,000 $5,000 for a statewide office or more than $500
$1,000 $5,000 or more for a statewide office, $1,000 or more for the
General Assembly, or $500 or more ] for any other office, knowingly
received or reported by the candidate or his treasurer on behalf of his
candidacy (i) between the thirteenth day preceding a June primary and the
primary date, (ii) between the thirteenth day preceding a November election and
the election date, or (iii) between the eleventh day preceding any other
election in which the individual is a candidate and the election day, shall be
reported in writing as provided in § 24.2-914 or electronically pursuant to §
24.2-914.1, and the report shall be received by the State Board or local
electoral board, as appropriate, by the end of the next business 5:00
p.m. on the following day; however, any such contribution received within
the twenty-four 24 hours prior to the election day shall be
reported and a report thereof received on the day prior to the election.
Statewide and General Assembly candidates shall file all reports required by
this section with the State Board and with the electoral board of the locality
where the candidate resides. Any candidate for a constitutional or local office
shall file such reports with the electoral board of the locality where the
candidate resides. Any contribution reported pursuant to this section shall
also be reported on the first report required by this article after any
election.
B. The reports required by subsection A of this section shall also be required of any candidate for nomination by a political party to serve as the party's nominee in a general or special election if (i) the party nominates by convention or any method other than a primary and (ii) there are at least two candidates for nomination pursuant to the rules and procedures of the party. In such case, candidates for nomination shall be required to file the reports required by subsection A for the thirteen-day or eleven-day period, as specified by subsection A, immediately preceding:
1. The caucus, mass meeting, convention, or other nominating event at which the party's nomination shall be finally determined pursuant to the rules and procedures of the party; and
2. Any caucus, mass meeting, convention, or other nominating event, other than that at which the party's nomination shall be finally determined, at which delegates are chosen who are pledged to support a specified candidate on at least one ballot at a subsequent district or state convention required as part of the nominating process.
No report shall be required pursuant to this subsection if the candidate is or has become, by virtue of the withdrawal of any opponent or the operation of the rules and procedures of the party, unopposed for nomination at the time such report otherwise would be required to be made.
