WA C3 Report
WA C3 Report is a deposit-based report for any monetary receipts. These deposits are created in ISP under the Accounting tab. After a deposit is made, you will then see it in the Deposit Transaction dropdown on the WA C3 criteria screen.
- Before June 1 of the election year, candidates fill out a C-3 report for each bank deposit and file these reports with their C-4 reports.
- Beginning June 1, each deposit must be reported no later than the following Monday. Since contributions must be deposited within 5 business days of receipt, active campaigns will make at least one weekly deposit.
Deposit Dates
Typically, the receipt date for donations is the date the contribution is deposited into the bank account. However, in Seattle races, the date reported is the date you are notified of the contribution, so we use Transaction Date instead.
There are also some differences between how transactions with Method Credit Card are handled:
- for all PDC Versions – PDC (Candidate), PDC (Non-Candidate), PDC (Itemize All) and PDC (Out of State) – if the transaction Method is Credit Card, the Date of the transaction will be the date of the deposit.
- for all Seattle Versions – Seattle (Candidate), Seattle (Non-Candidate), Seattle (Itemize All) and Seattle (Out of State) – if the Method is Credit Card, the Date of the transaction will be the transaction date.
