{"abstract":"The Commission is issuing regulations concerning the electronic filing of reports by publicly financed Presidential primary and general election candidates. The rules specify that if Presidential candidates and their authorized committees have computerized their campaign finance records, they must agree to participate in the Commission's recently established electronic filing program as a condition of voluntarily accepting federal funding. These regulations implement the provisions of the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act (``Fund Act'') and the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account Act (``Matching Payment Act''), which establish eligibility requirements for Presidential candidates seeking public financing, as well as Public Law 104-79, which amended the reporting provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (``FECA'').
